One lane underpass and bridge east of Ravenna KY

Unless you want to cross Tipton Ridge Mountain, you go from Ravenna to Beattyville via KY 1571 (Millers Creek Road). On the eastern side of Ravenna on KY 1571, you go through a one lane underpass. Turn left and you cross Cow Creek on KY 1571. Why was the Cow Creek Bridge built for only ONE lane of traffic? The Cow Creek Bridge near the KY River was built in 1970. How can any trucking occur from Irvine to Beattyville, Jackson or Hazard?

How much money would it cost to build a 2 lane bridge at Cow Creek? Is there not enough room there to do so? I know the current from the river and vibration from the railroad puts pressure on this bridge.
