Beams for the new bridge at the Glasgow landfill were installed on Jan. 5.
The bridge will span the south fork of Beaver Creek to “significantly improve access to Glasgow’s landfill facility” by allowing heavy equipment to reach the landfill without damaging county or state roads, a city press release stated.
“This grant for bridge construction is a tremendous opportunity that will help prevent damage to several miles of county and state roadways which would otherwise be affected by heavy equipment,” said City Administrator April Russell.
“Our primary goal is to ensure public safety and protect our road infrastructure,” Glasgow Mayor Henry Royse added. “This bridge will not only save taxpayers money in long-term road repairs, but it will support responsible landfill operations.”
It is being constructed due to a $600,289 federal Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant that was awarded to the city of Glasgow in June 2025.
The block grant was a part of $2.2 million awarded to Kentucky cities through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act for projects ranging from solar installations to transportation upgrades.
