The Letcher County Fiscal Court today moved closer to replacing the Perkins Branch Bridge which collapsed earlier this year. The court also got a more clear idea of the actual cost of the project. In a special meeting Tuesday, the Letcher County Fiscal Court approved hiring Greg Hale Construction to install the new bridge at Perkins Branch in the Jeremiah community. The bridge collapsed in March following flooding the month before. The court accepted Hale's bid of $131,900 to install the bridge. That bridge was put in back in the 50s, so it had served its purpose. But we will go back with a lot better bridge with more stable piers. All total, the bridge replacement project will eclipse $235,000. In addition to the cost to install the bridge, the bridge itself, a 100-foot steel span, will cost $102,000 plus $2,500 shipping. The county's responsibility, however, will likely total only $38,000 thanks to matching emergency funds for the project. The court voted to extend the bridge it originally intended to purchase from approximately 75 feet to 100 feet long. Officials said the additional footage will add more stability to the structure. It relative to the back underneath the bridge and stepping the bridge back another 20-foot. It actually will be 10-foot on each side that puts you back in more stable ground. And we're also going to get a pile on down into the bedrock. A water line across Rockhouse Creek will have to be moved before the new bridge can be installed. Once that line is moved, it's expected to take a month to get the new bridge installed. I am looking forward to driving across the new bridge, but I'd say not as much as the people and all the families that live up in there. The fiscal court's votes on the bridge project were unanimous.
