The Kentucky Water Transportation Advisory Board has approved funding a guardrail project at the Eddyville Riv-erport and Industrial Development Authority following additional funding being made available by the state. In July, the board approved five grants valued at $450,000. Following another $50,000 in funding becoming available, it sent out a second call for projects. Two applications, both from the Eddyville port, were received, said Jeremy Edgeworth, freight, rail and waterways coordinator at the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's Division of Planning. In a meeting of the advisory board over videoconferencing software January 7, the board unanimously approved funding $48,415 for guardrails at the riverport's Pit No. 2. The total project cost is anticipated to be $96,830. The Kentucky secretary of transportation must approve the advisory board's final recommendation and funding level, and the project must be bid out and funds expended before the end of the fiscal year on June 30. |
