This was my second trip to Kentucky to help inspect one of the Ohio River bridge crossings. I have now been part of four of the river crossings and look forwards to being part of many more.
For this inspection we were doing a detailed inspection of the floor system so the state would have a very detailed report of the current condition. They plan to use this report to justify their reasons for the new deck replacement and whether or not to keep the stringers, which currently control the rating for the bridge.
We even got one day off which gave us time to check out the bourbon trail. We stopped by the Maker's Mark Distillery and the Jim Beam Distillery.
