News US 60 bridge at Smithland traffic back to normal

The Kentucky Tramsportation Cabinet said Monday traffic is back to normal on the new US 60 Cumberland River bridge at Smithland.

A demolition contractor has completed efforts to cut up and remove sections of the steel truss of the Old Smithland Bridge from the Cumberland River.  

The truss of the 92-year-old structure was dropped into the river by explosive demolition on Thursday.

Two additional blasts are planned to take down remnants of the old bridge, including the concrete piers and concrete abutments.  

Weather permitting, the next blast would be around December 15th.
