Posted: 8/3/2009 4:09:41 PM | here is the press release about the road being closed.
im working with the rangers on an alternet site if they are not finished with this project.
For Immediate Release
Contact: Kimberly Morgan
WINCHESTER, Ky., June 15, 2009 – Beginning Monday, June 22, the Indian Creek Road in Menifee County, Forest Service Road #9 in the Red River Gorge, will be closed for construction. The closure is expected to span over a period of at least 90 days as contractors remove and reconstruct a bridge over the East Fork of Indian Creek. During this time, the road will be closed to vehicle traffic in the interest of public safety.
“We realize this road leads to a popular area of the gorge where many visitors enjoy fishing, hiking and rock climbing,” said Dave Manner, District Ranger of the Cumberland Ranger District, “but the bridge repairs are necessary to improve travel in this area.”
The construction project will replace an existing steel bridge with timber decking that was built in 1954. Over the years, this bridge has become deficient and unsafe for large road maintenance equipment and fish stocking vehicles. The existing bridge will be replaced with a single span steel girder structure with concrete decking. The new bridge will provide safe access for the public and support road maintenance activities, as well as future stream and fish habitat restoration projects. | |
