Senator Mitch McConnell says Kentucky is benefiting from the bipartisan infrastructure bill passed by Congress. The Senate Minority Leader stopped in Owensboro Wednesday to talk about the over $17 million in grant funding to rehab the 100-year-old Rockport Railroad Bridge that spans the Green River between Ohio and Muhlenberg counties. In total Kentucky will receive about $6 billion in funding from the infrastructure bill to address a number of critical projects.
