Thread: Ky/Barkley Lake Bridges rebuild cam links

Thanks Doug I been trying to find web site for the Barkley bridge. I look at the KY Lake bridge every day and it's amazing how they build bridges. I would like to be there when they lift the arch up on the KY bridge.

Reports are for Dec 1 to lift the arch ... weather permitting ...

If the weather looks passable I'm heading to Cherokee Park early to get a good spot.

man if I headed to Cherokee Park to see that, that would have to be one BIG bridge as I live in Jefferson County and Cherokee Park is about 5 miles from my house LOL

Obviously a different Cherokee Park. The one near Aurora is quite infamous as it was the Blacks Only park in the '50s built by the TVA when the Kentucky & Barkley Dams were being built. Recently refurbished it is just north of the construction site and will offer a good vantage point to watch the goings on.

yeah I know, Cherokee/Seneca Parks, are the largest in Louisville Ky and they are Metro Louisville parks not state

Is the lift happening today?

Got the boat out today and took some pics of the bridge construction. No doubt the new bridge is going to be much higher and wider then the old one.
