Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- It's official: Walsh Construction will build the new downtown bridge and revamp the Kennedy bridge and Spaghetti Junction.

The company out of Chicago won the bid to do the work for $971 million.

Construction starts next summer and will be complete in Dec. 2016.  

That's more than a year-and-a-half earlier than the state's estimates.

Walsh is also the contractor for the Milton-Madison bridge.
