LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky Senate President Robert Stiver says a federal infrastructure bill could allow the state to pay for two large bridge projects without tolls. Kentucky would receive at least $5.1 billion over several years for infrastructure. Stivers, a Republican, said Friday that the state would still have to apply for a part of $12 billion in funds set aside for larger projects that have “multistate implications.” He said that would also help pay for the Brent Spence Bridge and the Interstate 69 bridge projects.
