For those of you who have an unexplainable obsession with bridges - and I know you're out there - the "street view" feature on Google Maps can be quite a handy toy, allowing you to traverse Kentucky's bridges virtually.
Madison-Milton Bridge, Milton, KY
Cumberland River Falls Bridge, Whitley County, KY
Boonesboro Bridge, Boonesboro, KY
Sherman Minton Bridge, Louisville, KY
Clark Bridge, Louisville, KY
Gordon Hill Pike Bridge, Corbin, KY
Paducah Bridge, Paducah, KY
J.R. Miller Blvd Bridge, Owensboro, KY
Lake Barkley US 68 Bridge, Cadiz, KY
Clays Ferry Bridge, Clays Ferry, KY
Ironton-Russell Bridge, Ashland, KY
Roebling Suspension Bridge, Covington, KY
And while Google currently doesn't let us street-view the William H. Natcher Bridge in Daviess County, we do get to go underneath it, at least:

My grandfather lived in Frankfort and worked as a state bridge inspector; all I really remember about his job was the various women's groups in Frankfort getting pissed because he kept painting the bridges blue. Every bridge would get a fresh coat after inspection as part of the general upkeep but also so you could easily see how long it had been since a bridge was inspected.
Long after his retirement he would go in rants about how no one was inspecting the bridges anymore; I think the Old Clay's Ferry Bridge (under the interstate on Old Richmond Rd) is a good example of an out-of-sight out-of-mind Kentucky bridge.
I share your weird fascination!
