Summer’s almost here, and that means road construction work is under way throughout Nelson County.

At its meeting Tuesday, the Fiscal Court approved an agreement with the state’s Department of Rural and Municipal Aid for an allocation of $67,100 for a drainage project at Hibbs Lane, two miles northeast of Louisville Road, over a tributary of Kimbly Run.

County Judge-Executive Dean Watts said the state will be responsible for 80 percent of the cost of a culvert replacement, and the county will be responsible for 20 percent.
