MADISONVILLE, Ky. — The bridge replacements on U.S. 62 E in Beaver Dam are finished, according to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.

The contractor originally planned to have one lane open to address school traffic. Since the opening of in-person attendance was pushed back, the contractor chose to continue working without opening one lane.

The average daily traffic count for this section of U.S. 62 E is 2,600.

The road was closed April 14, 2020, from mile point 11.9 to 12.0 for two bridge replacements
