More than six million dollars are going towards improving local bridges across Kentucky. The money comes from the state’s County and City Bridge Improvement Program. It’s the fifth round of funds from the program awarded this year.
It’ll help fund 10 bridge replacements and two bridges that will be repaired. That includes structures in Ballard, Calloway, Crittenden, Fleming, Garrard, Graves, Green, Hickman, Livingston and Trigg counties. The full list is available here.
The state has awarded around $40 million this year as part of the program in total. The state’s transportation cabinet says the program will help Kentuckians get to where they need to go quicker, and more safely.
