Construction of a new bridge over Taylor Creek on Waterworks Road (CS 1193) in Newport will begin August 22.
Rob Hans, chief district engineer for KYTC District 6 said, “The new bridge and approaches will be constructed to current standards that will provide better mobility for the motorists who travel this roadway.”
The old structure was closed to traffic in February of this year after an inspection detected significant deterioration.
John R. Jurgensen Co. and Subsidiary of Cincinnati, Ohio was awarded the low bid contract for $973,000.
The anticipated completion date is December 2016.
