$3.4 million in funding will be awarded to 24 cities and counties around the commonwealth through the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s Department of Rural and Municipal Aid.
Among the funding recipients is the city of West Point, which will receive $66,715.
“That funding is to repair and repave the city road that goes up to Fort Duffield, the historic site,” said West Point Mayor Richard Ciresi.
The mayor says the funding supports rebuilding efforts in West Point.
“It is one of our major tourist attractions, and we are rebuilding West Point as a visitor center, and this is a key part of that,” Ciresi said.
Larue County also received funds, with $197,000 going towards resurfacing 2.5 miles of Dan Dunn Road.
Meanwhile, the KYTC says KY-992 in Breckinridge County will be closed beginning at 8 a.m. Monday to the south and east of Cloverport as crews conduct slide repairs between Tar Springs Road and Iron Ore Road. The road should be open by 3 p.m. to accommodate after school and bus traffic. A recommended detour route is posted on the KYTC District Four Facebook page.
