The Count, Road Eighty Bridge Closing: 100 days Today is the 100th Day since the Bridge on KY E80, Russell Road, Columbia, KY, was closed on October 1, 2007. One sad story: A high school basketball team from Garrard County came through Columbia recently. Their party had travelled Highway 80 from Russell Springs, not knowing the bridge was out. After negotiating their way through Green Hills, Fairground Street, and Columbia, they stopped for breakfast, but not at their original destination, the Circle R, the coach's favorite Columbia restaurant. When they had arrived there, the restaurant building remained, but it was a pile of rubble left in the clean-up process by the new owners, after the building had been a fire wrecked hull for nearly six months. (Since then, the lot has been completely leveled and cleaned.) A Russell Creek Bridge downstream, at Kemp, was started at the same time as the East 80 bridge and took less than 80 calendar days for replacement. That bridge was built by Adair County Contractor Garrison Construction Co. Traffic is flowing across the Adair-Green County line there now. See LETTERS & FEEDBACK for many comments on the KY E80 Russell Creek Bridge replacement. This story was posted on 2008-01-08 01:07:47
