Grant Street span rises in Lawrence County 12-year plan
The Grant Street Bridge moved from demolition to the short list of Lawrence County's 12-year transportation plan. The committee expects years of studies and design work before any reconstruction, even with $2.4 million federal funds allocated but restricted to this bridge. Jody McCullough of the state DOT noted $1.8 million for construction and $600,000 for engineering and demolition. The panel also extended the plan by six months and named Craig as chairman with Everett Bleakney as secretary.
