Intech Contracting LLC is a Kentucky-based construction contracting company that specializes in bridge repair and restoration, inspection support, and related services.
The firm is notable for finally completing the painting of the John F. Kennedy Memorial Bridge in Louisville, marking the end of nearly a decade of public controversy. Two previous contractors had failed to complete the job amidst a bribery scandal and disputes with state officials.{{cite news|url=http://www.whas11.com/topstories/stories/120407whasjdtopstorybridge.6afad7f5.html |title=The Kennedy Bridge project complete |date=2007-12-05 |work=WHAS11.com }}{{dead link|date=May 2017|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} Similarly, the company completed painting the Corpus Christi Harbor Bridge after a previous company's contract was canceled.{{cite news|url=http://www.caller.com/news/2010/may/16/finishing-harbor-bridge-work/|title=Finishing Harbor Bridge work|date=2010-08-16|work=Corpus Christi Caller-Times}}
