A 200-foot-long marina broke loose during record-breaking flooding on the Kentucky River, scraping the bottom of bridges and leading to emergency bridge closings March 3 through the state capital of Frankfort.
In all, three bridges were temporarily closed, and one bridge had already been closed for repairs due to a previous vehicle strike. The
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet reported that initial drone inspections showed no significant damage to the bridges, but that it would need to wait until water levels returned to normal before more in-depth inspections could occur.
