The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is providing Crittenden County with Emergency Road Aid Funds to replace a damaged culvert. The $35,000 dollar assistance goes to the county Fiscal Court replacing the ailing stream tunnel on Hurricane Church Road.
A tributary of Caney Fork Creek runs under the road near the Hurricane Church Campground, the site of an annual meeting drawing hundreds of visitors.
The metal bottom of the culvert had rusted over the course of 50 years.
Crittenden County Judge Executive Perry Newcom says he is optimistic work will begin in late June or July.
