The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has reached a settlement with the shipping company who operated the cargo vessel that damaged the old Eggners Ferry Bridge in Benton.
The Foss Maritime Company agreed to pay $3,375,000 in a settlement agreement that was reached in February.
The MC Delta Mariner, a large cargo ship that transports rocket components for NASA, struck and damaged a 322-foot section of the bridge on January 26, 2012. The state spent $7 million to replace it.
No other details of the lawsuit have been released.
