Fall Runners Take to Saunders Springs Trails This Morning
Radcliff, KY · November 14, 2026
Chilly air and crunchy leaves greet early risers heading out toward Saunders Springs this morning. Whether you are running the trails or browsing the first weekend holiday markets, keep the heavy coat handy.
The Lead
Radcliff has formally opened competitive bidding for a major infrastructure upgrade at Saunders Springs, seeking qualified contractors to fabricate and install a replacement roof on the municipal water storage tank. Sealed bids are due at City Hall by 10:00 AM on November 25. The project addresses long-term structural maintenance near the nature preserve, ensuring the city’s holding capacity remains fully sealed and weather-tight ahead of winter freeze cycles. Concurrently, the Hardin County Fiscal Court issued its own invitation for kennel facility improvements at the county animal shelter, with proposals due at the Government Center on November 30. Together, the paired public works announcements represent a push by local administrators to lock in physical plant upgrades before the calendar year wraps up. City staff will open and log the submitted engineering packets publicly right after the Thanksgiving-week deadline.
