\nA non-functional power plant that previously provided steam power to the State Capitol will be razed due to its state of deterioration and potential danger to passing vehicles and pedestrians.<\/p>\n
In preparation for the structure\u2019s demolition, a small section of Old Lawrenceburg Road, Route 420, between the Capitol Parking Garage and Cliffside Restaurant will be temporarily closed beginning on Monday, February 13. This section of roadway is expected to reopen in mid-to-late March.<\/p>\n
The parking garage will remain fully accessible from the East-West Connector Road. Access to Cliffside Restaurant will remain open via East Todd Street.<\/p>\n
The Finance and Administration Cabinet\u2019s Department for Facilities and Support Services issued a Request for Bids and awarded a contract to Innovative Demolition Services LLC of Lexington for the abatement and subsequent dismantling of the building. The estimated cost of the project is $107,000 with work expected to be completed in approximately four weeks. The cost of the project will be paid from Facilities\u2019 Property Management Funds.<\/p>\n
Tucked into the hillside below the top level of the parking garage, the old power plant was constructed to support functions of the new Capitol building, which was formally dedicated on June 2, 1910. The cost for construction of the plant was $90,000. It has been inactive since 2008, when it was replaced by a new boiler plant located on the Capitol Campus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
