Floyd County approves final plans for Bridge 51 (Blackstone Mill Bridge) ahead of October letting
Summary
Commissioners approved final engineering plans for Bridge 51 (Blackstone Mill/Blackstone Mill Bridge) so the project can be advertised for bidding ahead of an October 2025 letting date.
Floyd County Commissioners on June 3 approved final engineering plans for Bridge 51, also referred to in the meeting as the Blackstone Mill Bridge, clearing the way for the project to proceed toward a planned October 2025 letting.
A county official told the board the engineering schematics are complete and that approving the plans will allow staff to return them to the engineers and keep the project on schedule for an October 2025 letting. A commissioner moved to approve the plans and a second followed; the motion passed by unanimous voice vote.
No changes to the engineering schematics were described during the discussion. The board did not discuss construction funding, contract award timeline beyond the October letting, or potential traffic impacts; staff indicated routine follow-up with the engineers to proceed with the procurement process.
Commissioners recorded their approval by voice vote; no ordinance or resolution was cited in connection with the action.
