Chenault Bridge

The Chenault Bridge formerly carried KY Route 34 over the Dix River and Herrington Lake in Boyle and Garrard County, Kentucky.


The Chenault Bridge formerly carried KY Route 34 over the Dix River and Herrington Lake in Boyle and Garrard County, Kentucky. The three-span Baltimore through truss was constructed in 1924 by the F.K. Ketler Company of Chicago, Illinois. 1

It was rehabilitated in 1961 and bypassed in 1992 when KY Route 34 was realigned. The one-lane crossing remained in use for automobiles until 2015.
