Work on the Maton Road Bridge off KY-475, Tress Shop Road, in Todd County will take a couple of months to complete.
Judge Executive Todd Mansfield told the Fiscal Court Friday morning that they received three bids for the project.
Scott & Murphy is already a pre-qualified contractor through the KY Transportation Cabinet. The work on the project will not start until October, after the harvest season. Mansfield says he will be speaking with the residents in the area before work starts. As previously reported Todd County Fiscal Court was awarded over $542,000 in June 2025 to replace the bridge with a stronger, safer structure.
In other business, Emergency Management Director Ash Groves says he will be requesting money to encrypt the radio system.
He is seeking costs from contractors they have worked with previously and hopes to have those numbers for the Fiscal Court during budget discussions later this month.
Another project his department has been working on is communications, and Groves says they have officially launched the text line for the general public.
Anyone interested in signing up just has to text “ToddAlerts” to 91896. This will allow residents to stay connected and up-to-date on what is happening with county government.
