South Buster Pike project moves forward

DANVILLE, Ky. — The Boyle County Fiscal Court has approved a roughly $1.75 million construction agreement for the South Buster Pike bridge project, clearing another hurdle before work begins on the long-awaited replacement. The court unanimously approved the agreement with Todd Johnson Contracting during its Nov. 10 meeting. County officials said the contractor has received notice to proceed with the project. The contract requires the bridge to be completed within six months after construction begins. Magistrates discussed whether an incentive could be included for early completion but decided against making additional changes to the agreement after the project had already gone through the approval process involving the railroad. Officials said the crew scheduled to work on South Buster Pike was finishing another project in Green County and was expected to wrap up that work around Thanksgiving. Materials for the Boyle County project were also still being prepared.
