PADUCAH, Ky. (June 11, 2025) – KY 408/Eggners Ferry Road, just east of Benton in Marshall County, reopened to traffic late Tuesday afternoon, June 10, following the completion of four new bridges along the Clarks River Wildlife Refuge.
The project included the replacement of the Johns River Bridge, Johns River Overflow Bridge, Clarks River Bridge, and Clarks River Overflow Bridge, all of which had been closed for approximately 20 months during construction.
