Indian Creek road reopens in the Red River Gorge

For Immediate Release

Contact: Kimberly Morgan 

WINCHESTER, KY, September 22, 2009 – On Tuesday, September 22, the Indian Creek Road in Menifee County, Forest Service Road #9 in the Red River Gorge, will reopen to the public. The road was closed throughout much of the summer for construction.

Much of the construction involved replacing a bridge that was built in 1954. Over the years, this bridge had become deficient and unsafe for road maintenance equipment and other large vehicles. The new bridge will provide safe access for the public and support road maintenance and project activities in the area.
