Expedited Construction Plan to Safely Complete U.S. 60 Bridge in Daviess County
Bridge scheduled to open before Christmas

MADISONVILLE, Ky. (Oct. 13, 2026) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has developed a revised construction plan focused on safely replacing the U.S. 60 bridge over Katie Meadows Slough at Stanley and reopening it to traffic as soon as possible. Under the new plan, KYTC anticipates the bridge will reopen by Christmas Eve 2026.

The revised approach will allow crews to construct the new bridge without fully excavating and removing an unexpected buried structure discovered earlier this summer. Instead, crews will remove only the portions of the old concrete structure necessary to safely install the support piers for the replacement bridge. This significantly reduced the excavation required and helped keep the project on track for completion before the end of the year.

Answering a viewer’s question, WKYT explained the reasoning behind Lexington’s second double crossover diamond interchange, at Leestown Road (US 421) and New Circle Road (KY 4), which opened in early October. In this design, traffic briefly crosses to the left side of the road, so drivers turning left no longer have to cross in front of oncoming traffic. That reduces “crossing conflict points,” the spots where some of the most severe crashes happen.

KYTC data from Lexington’s first double crossover diamond, on Harrodsburg Road (US 68) at New Circle, compares seven-year periods before and after it opened. Overall crashes fell 20%, minor-injury crashes 42% and rear-end crashes 68%.
