Steel plates cover it Monday morning while it fully cures, then will be removed, leaving a perfect strip which is visible but which is rarely if ever felt by passengers in vehicles riding over the patch. Pyles Concrete made the pour. Stotts Construction Co., LLC finished the concrete. The work was done under the scrutiny of a KY Department of Highways inspector and an inspector for Columbia Adair Utilities District. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
