LIVINGSTON COUNTY, KY
(wkms) -
Area law enforcement agencies plan to continue their enhanced enforcement of a 3-ton load restriction on the US 60 Tennessee River Bridge at Ledbetter. Kentucky State Police say they've written 37 citations at the bridge as of yesterday. Other agencies say they've written dozens of similar citations to overweight vehicles crossing the span. But officials report numbers are gradually dropping as word spreads about the stepped up police effort. Livingston County Judge-Executive Chris Lasher says he's concerned if violations continue, the bridge might have to be closed to all traffic. A new bridge being constructed upstream is expected to be complete in mid-2014.
