KY 1129 Brush Creek Bridge in Fulton County Reduced to 3-Ton Load Limit

Load rating reduced due to substructure deterioration

PADUCAH, Ky. (Aug. 26, 2021) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) has placed a 3-ton load limit on the KY 1129 Brush Creek Bridge in Fulton County.

The Brush Creek Bridge at KY 1129 mile point 7.696 is now restricted to a 3-ton load limit after an inspection found deterioration of the bridge substructure. Signs indicating the new load rating will be erected as soon as possible.

The 3-ton load limit restricts the bridge to vehicles no heavier than a passenger vehicle or pickup truck.

The Brush Creek Bridge is along KY 1129 between McClellan Road and KY 239.

In coming weeks KYTC District 1 engineers will be conducting a further evaluation of the bridge substructure to determine if it can be repaired or should be replaced.

On some maps, Brush Creek is listed as Rush Creek at this site.
