KENTUCKY---Huge earth-moving machines were delivered to the Ark Encounter site, and the excavation for the life-size Noah’s Ark project has begun. The first wave of equipment made its way up I-75 from Lexington, Kentucky and arrived at the Ark’s Williamstown site on August 7, 2014. Now that the funding is in place for the Ark Encounter construction to begin, our construction management team, The Troyer Group, will begin the bidding process for the different facets of the project. Considerable funding has been raised through bonds, donations, and memberships towards the $73 million first phase of the Ark Encounter. The park’s centerpiece will be a 510-foot-long Noah’s Ark off busy I-75 at exit 154. It is anticipated that the Ark will open in the summer of 2016 with up to two million vistors in the first year.
