Funding Acquired For Thacker Road
KENTUCKY....
Residents on Thacker Road in Hatfield have been without a useable bridge since the floods of May and June 2009, leaving them isolated and nearly stranded for almost a year. Last month, Pike County Judge-Executive Wayne T. Rutherford and District 6 Magistrate Chris Harris each sent a letter to B.D. Wilson, Commissioner of the Department of Rural and Municipal Aid of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, requesting emergency funds to assist in the repair or replacement of the bridge. The letters stated that the bridge, which belongs to the county, was in deplorable condition prior to enduring the flood waters and afterwards became unsafe. A letter from Wilson dated March 8th notified Rutherford that emergency funds in the amount of $39,600 are being processed. The Pike County Fiscal Court declared the situation an emergency and estimated repair costs at $49,500. Wilson requested he be notified and given the total cost of the project when the repairs are complete.
