(WEKU) -
It could be four years before families put out of their homes by work on Lexington's Newtown Pike extension project could move into new housing. An update on the 90 million dollar revitalization project was recently presented to members of the Urban County Council's planning committee.Project Engineer Andrew Grunwald told council members he would hate to give an optimistic date and have families disappointed if work on new homes was not completed.
14 families are in temporary housing near the work site. Grunwald says that number is expected to reach 18. Work on a new downtown bridge off Newtown pike is expected to start next spring with the hope it will be completed in time for the World Equestrian Games. © Copyright 2012, WEKU
