The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s Bridging Kentucky initiative is a commitment to improving safety and soundness of the Commonwealth’s bridges by rehabilitating, repairing, or replacing critical bridges throughout the state.

The program is designed to open closed structures, improve bridge lifespans, ensure appropriate weight capacities are met, and improve access and mobility for all Kentuckians.

The remaining 40 District 12 bridges, include 11 in Letcher County, five in Floyd, one in Johnson, 13 in Knott, two in Martin, and eight in Pike County. Expected start dates, which were originally listed for each bridge, are not listed at this time. It is not known if or how concerns about COVID-19 might affect the start dates, which were set before the advent of COVID-19.

Additional information about Bridging Kentucky is available on the program’s website: http://www.BridgingKentucky.com, which provides an overview, a list of frequently asked questions, and the full list of bridges that will be addressed.
