The mid-1920s saw significant bridge and highway improvement work in Kentucky. I don't have the link available at the moment, but, the 1925 Highway Commission Report is available online and should tell, if not the scope of the project, at least the cost of it. From this it should be able to reasonably ascertain if repairs were major or minor.
