Historic L&N Turnpike
The three stone arch bridges on the Bridges to the Past walking trail are among the oldest bridges in KY. The bridges are apart of the old L&N Turnpike which stretched from Louisville to Nashville and were constructed between 1837-1849. The L&N Turnpike was a toll road at least to the KY/TN line and helped to serve troops of both sides during the Civil War. The Turnpike would mostly be taken over by the Dixie Highway and US 31, respectively. Today, a section of the Turnpike has been completely restored and is known as the Bridges to the Past walking trail. The trail is located about a mile south of West Point, KY on Fort Knox, but is open to the public. The entire trail is on the National Register of Historic Places. For pictures/info on the remaining two bridges see Bridges to the Past (Bridge #2) and Bridges to the Past (Bridge #3).
