Covington Suspension Bridge Work on Schedule. Yes!


I checked out the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's site for updates on the Covington Suspension Bridge construction and it relays the following:


This BRIDGE REHAB(P) project was awardedto INTECH CONTRACTING LLC on 10/6/2006. The contract amount is $3,157,103.04 and the project is approximately 58% complete.


58% complete with about 6 weeks to go (the deadline is April 22, 2007) didn't sound that great so I contacted the engineer of record, who assures us that the project is "on or ahead of schedule." Yahoo!


Life can soon get back to normal in the historic riverside district, when we can cross 3rd street without getting mowed down by a squatter, cutting over to the Newport bridge. Chances are, there won't be so many people stopping and asking directions, either, but I don't mind that anyway. I've been explaining for years that you have to go to the next town over to get to the Levee.
