Gov. Bredesen today announced ten local bridge projects that will be the first projects in Tennessee to be funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Work could be underway on the projects by the end of March.
In addition to creating local jobs and making bridges safer, Gov. Bredesen said "Selecting local bridge projects allows us to ease the burden of local governments, because funds through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act do not require local matching funds."
The ten bridge projects are:
• Carroll County - Westport Road Bridges over the Big Sandy River
• Carter County - Wilbur Dam Road Bridge over the Watauga River
• Cocke County - Splashaway Road over Sinking Creek
• Fentress County - Delk Creek Road Bridge over Delk Creek
• Gibson County - McMurry Road Bridges over Davis Creek, others
• Giles County - Earl Townsend Road Bridge over Shoal Creek
• Hardeman County - Teague Road Bridge over Clover Creek
• Hawkins County - Okolona Road Bridge over Alexander Creek
• Macon County - West Wixtown Road Bridge over Long Creek
• Monroe County - Belcher Gap Road Bridge over Notchy Creek
