 Progress to U.S. 460's Pon Creek Bridge Band continues. Recently, crews from Kentucky Transportation Cabinet began the process of pushing three out of the 10 spans in preparation for the bridge's deck. Friday, Mountain Top spoke with Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's District 12's section engineer, Vince Hayes, about their progress. Well, we've got all our piers and caps completed. This is going to be the tallest bridge east of the Mississippi. It'll be about 330 feet in elevation from the bottom of the pier footer. We've got four sets of piers. Right now, we're launching the beams across from our launch pit on the Marlbone side. We've already launched three spans and we have two to go on the eastbound side of the bridge. And once we do that, we'll be able to start on our westbound side and then we'll be able to start prep work for our deck construction. At Pikeville Medical Center, we believe that together we can make a difference in the fight against cancer. We are proud to have patients who have experienced successful outcomes over many years. As always, we believe in the power of faith. Pikeville Medical Center, where cancer can be defeated. Since 2018, crews have been assembling the bridge. Hayes says they're looking to have it completed within the next 15 months. Starting from nothing and looking at where we're at now, it's been a progress, but it's been a slow progress. But looking back from where we were with nothing, just digging out for the first abutment, it's pretty cool to watch. We've got pictures and videos and drone footage and a lot of pretty neat stuff. So it's been cool to see and I'm glad to be a part of it. Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to push two more spans within the next two weeks. For Mountain Top News, I'm Joel Korgel.
