Ann: Gov. Fletcher sending $78,865 more in bridge money $98,582 total project for Short Creek Bridge on Dunnville Road. Span will be constructed by Adair County Road Department, except for tear-out; tear-out ad says removal of old bridge must be completed no later than July 16, 2007. Road will be closed for approximately three weeks for the tear-out and construction. Not a gift, but Governor is helping Adair County catch up from 40 years of neglect, she says By Ed Waggener Governor Ernie Fletcher is sending emergency money to build a new Short Creek Bridge. The check will be the second State Emergency Road fund check to build new Bridges in Adair in the first six months of the Administration of Judge Executive Ann Melton. Adair County Judge Ann Melton said that she has been notified that a check for $78, 865 is on it's way to allow the Adair County Road Department to build a bridge over Short Creek on Adair County CR 1031, the Dunnville Road, between Eunice, at the Foot of Dug Hill on KY 206, and Dunnville, in the edge of Casey County, KY. The location is between four and five miles from KY 206. The amount is 80% of the estimated cost of the project, which the Kentucky Department of Highways said would be around $98,582. Administrative Assistant Lisa Lee, who is the Judge's right hand aide on matters concerning roads and bridges, said that there will be some inconvenience to motorists during about four weeks starting around July 9-13, when the tear-out and construction wil begin. "We'll post 'Road Closed' signs then," she said, and US 127 traffic will have to detour in one of two places:
Old bridge didn't even have proper side rails The funds come from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's Emergency Road Fund. "This bridge will greatly increase the safety of travel on the Dunnville Road," Judge Melton said. "the old Bridge doesn't even have proper side rails." The new bridge will have concrete railing. Judge Melton had requested the money on May 15, 2007. "I want to thank Gov. Fletcher for his decisiveness in seeing that we got the money in time to get work underway this summer," she said. "And I also want to thank Ginger Wills, Executive Director of Transportation and Commissioner of Highways Marc Williams," she said, "as well as Bill Nighbert, Secretary of the Transportation Cabinet, and, why all means, Senator Vernie McGaha, who has gone way above and beyond to make sure Adair County roads get the funding they deserve. "You know," she said, "a lot of people are surprised that Governor Fletcher is giving us so much during his administration. But you also have to remember that this is catch-up time for Adair County, After 40 years of almost total neglect, it was high time Adair County roads got attention." Judge Melton said she expects another quality job from ACRD Road Superintendent Jobe Darnell and his crew. "If you haven't been up to McGaha to see the Grassy Springs Bridge we built, you need to go," she said. "We've blacktopped the approaches. It really looks great. And the State inspectors say we build as good a bridge as anyone can." The Grassy Springs Bridge was built with money received in a grant Judge Melton requested her first week in office.
