Mark Crowner concedes he was reluctant when he was approached three years ago about producing a documentary on the construction of two basket-handle arch bridges over Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley.

However, the Emmy-award winning filmmaker from Louisville had worked with the engineering firm, Michael Baker International, on a previous bridge-related documentary, so he agreed. The result, “The Lakes Bridges of Western Kentucky,” premieres today at 1 p.m. on Kentucky Educational Television.
