Russell Creek Bridge getting cleaned out

By James Roberts

Jones Excavating from London Kentucky has started the clean out of tree debris and trash that has all but clogged up the Russell Creek bridge on highway 55 north. There is very little water flowing but should be opened up after they are done with it in a day or so.

I know the ones that traverse this part of the creek will be happy to know that it won't an obstacle to have deal with when traveling down stream. Just thought I'd send this out to let everyone know.
