The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet will host a public meeting this evening in order to get public input on improvement plans for Kentucky Route 245 between Nelson and Bullitt counties.
The KYTC says the area for planned improvement covers about 10 miles from Flaget Hospital near Bardstown to Happy Hollow Road near Interstate 65.
“The corridor between Bardstown and I-65 just continues to increase each time we do traffic counts, our routine traffic counts through there, we continue to see those numbers rising, and so this is definitely identified as one of those places that needs attention for capacity, and that in turn will address safety and certainly efficiency of the roadway as well,” said KYTC District Four Public Information Officer Chris Jessie.
Identified needs include improving safety, improving mobility, increasing capacity, and reducing travel time.
The public meeting will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. at Thomas Nelson High School. Contact KYTC District Four for more information or for special accommodations for the meeting.
