Fifteen counties, including Trigg County, and three cities will receive a share of $8.2 million for critical bridge projects.
Governor Andy Beshear said Thursday that this marks the second round of funding from the newly established County and City Bridge Improvement Program.
He announced that Logan County will receive $600,000 to replace a bridge on Liberty Church Road, while Fulton County will get $980,000 for two projects to replace and reopen bridges on Sawmill Road and Crutchfield Road. Thirteen other counties will also benefit, including $450,000 allocated to Trigg County Fiscal Court for bridge repairs on Pleasant Hill Church Road.
The cities awarded funding include Erlanger, Georgetown and Mount Sterling.
According to Beshear, the County and City Bridge Improvement Program will offer additional funding opportunities in future rounds to ensure more local bridges receive essential upgrades. Local governments seeking future funding are encouraged to reach out to the Department of Rural and Municipal Aid or their local Department of Highways district office for more information.
