Irvine Bridge, which carries KY Routes 52 and 89 over the Kentucky River and CSX Railroad in Estill, Kentucky, underwent structural repairs, a deck overlay, and painting in 2021-22. The crossing was dedicated in July 1940. An all-day program was held in celebration of the new crossing, attracting nearly 6,000 people to the festivities that included live music, bicycle races, boat races along the Kentucky River, a boxing match, a wheelbarrow race, and a baseball game. It also featured an invocation from a pastor, numerous welcoming addresses, and concluding with a ribbon-cutting by Governor Keen Johnson.
