Roosevelt signed the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Act to control flooding on the Tennessee River, provide navigable waterways, and generate electricity. The Kentucky Dam project to impound Kentucky Lake was authorized by Congress on May 23, 1938; construction began in 1938 and was com- pleted in 1944. Consequently, in 1943 the bridge Land Between the Lakes was temporarily closed and raised 22 to 25 feet to accommodate the lakewaters. Kentucky Lake is the largest TVA reservoir at 160,000 acres and the larg- est artificial lake in the eastern US by surface area. In a similar fashion, the existing Lawrence Memori- al Bridge over Lake Barkley (Figure 4) was con- structed in 1932 across the Cumberland River and is 3045 feet long. Barkley Dam was authorized in the Figure 1: Project Location (Google Maps). River and Harbor Act of 1954; construction began in 1959 and was completed in 1964. The transfor- mation of the Cumberland River into Lake Barkley necessitated raising the Lawrence Memorial Bridge in 1963. Project Locations Originally built for lighter and narrower traffic, the New Madrid, MO existing structures have only 20 feet of clearance for the two lanes of opposing traffic. With recreational boaters, campers, and today's semi-truck fleet, inci- dents of mirrors slapping and accidents are not un- common. Furthermore, the navigational clearance for barge and other lake traffic is substandard; Egg- ners Ferry Bridge provides approximately 350 feet Figure 2: Project locations relative to New Madrid, of navigation width while Lawrence Memorial Missouri (Google Maps).

The NMSZ is the most active seis- mic area in the United States east of the Rocky Mountains with numerous small earthquakes rec- orded each year. The faults are poorly understood because they are covered by approximately 200 feet of alluvium and are not present on the ground sur- face as other faults are, such as the San Andreas. The locations for the two bridge replacements are approximately 80 miles from the town of New Ma- drid. Figure 3: Existing Eggners Ferry Bridge.

  • FRANKFORT, Ky
    FRANKFORT, Ky. - They were not even recognized as a distinctive fish species until 1927. People for many years believed these fish only existed in Kentucky. In 1956, the Kentucky legislature designated this species the "Kentucky bass" and made them the official state fish. Many anglers, especially in the south-central portion of the United States, still call the spotted bass a Kentucky bass. They pale in reputation to their black bass cousins, the largemouth and smallmouth bass, but the spunk shown once hooked and their abundance should raise the profile of the overlooked spotted bass. They are also aggressive and readily strike lures. It isn't hard to tell when a spotted bass strikes. They shake their heads violently and dive bomb toward the bottom. The larger ones 15 inches and up usually grow a pronounced belly as they mature. Spotted bass use that girth along with a powerful tail against an angler while playing the fish, producing as good a fight as any comparable largemouth bass. Medium-light spinning rods with reels spooled with 6-pound fluorocarbon line is all you need for catching spotted bass. Once the fall winds blow, spotted bass begin to school up. They locate along rock bluffs or they suspend over points, submerged humps or channel drops. "At this time of year, if you catch one spotted bass, keep fishing that same spot," said Chad Miles, administrative director of the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Foundation and dedicated spotted bass angler. "There might be 40 or 50 of them there. Spotted bass really school up in fall." In early to mid fall, these schools of spots often trap a cloud of shad against the surface and rip into them.

  • Kentucky Lake Golden Pond, Kentucky
    CASE STUDY Kentucky Lake Golden Pond, Kentucky HISTORY Between Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake, is an area known as Land Between the Lakes. However, its history goes back to the 1830s, when the area was known as “Between the Rivers”, as it sits between the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers in Western Kentucky. After the dam was built in the Cumberland River in the 1960s and a canal was constructed between the two lakes, Land Between the Lakes became the largest inland peninsula in the United States. This area was designated a national recreation area by President John F. Kennedy in 1963. It is one of the largest tourist areas in Western Kentucky, and is the recreational home to boating, camping, fishing, and hunting enthusiasts. PROBLEM In 1932, a two-lane truss bridge was constructed across the Tennessee River. The bridge was built long before Kentucky Lake was planned, and in 1943, the bridge was shut down for five months to build new piers and raise the structure to make room for Kentucky Lake. Some 70 years later, in 2012, the main span of the bridge collapsed after being struck by a cargo vessel. After initial repairs and reopening, the bridge was deemed to be functionally obsolete, very narrow, and a continuing maintenance issue, so plans for the replacement began. This replacement is associated with a larger effort to widen and improve approximately 20 miles of US 68/KY 80 from the split in Aurora at Kenlake State Resort Park through the Cadiz bypass. US 68 is the only east-west roadway through the recreation area and the only crossing of the lake in Kentucky.
