Livermore Bridge

The Livermore Bridge is a highway bridge in Kentucky that uses a polygonal Warren through truss design to span its waterways. It carries US Highway 431 across the landscape, serving as a major crossing point in the region.

This bridge was constructed by the Works Progress Administration during the Great Depression and officially dedicated on November 13, 1940. The project represented an important infrastructure investment during that economic period.

The Kentucky Historical Society and Department of Highways erected marker number 892 in 1965 to document this engineering achievement.

The bridge crosses multiple waterways and connects several counties together. When planning a visit, keep in mind that this is an active traffic route with regular vehicle flow.

The structure follows an unusual path that crosses multiple county boundaries before returning to its starting point. This journey across different administrative areas makes it a noteworthy case of regional infrastructure planning.
