The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is hosting a public meeting Tuesday night to discuss congestion and safety within the U.S. 62 interstate interchange corridor.
The meeting will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Elizabethtown Tourism and Convention Bureau, located at 1030 North Mulberry Street.
“With continued growth of the area, more traffic, more congestion, this public meeting is going to feature some ideas, alternatives to offset that, and we know it’s only going to increase,” said KYTC District Four Public Information Officer Chris Jessie. “We have to plan now, trying to stay ahead of that curve, and again we’re going to present some ideas for intersections and just the corridor as a whole out on the interstate end of U.S. 62 for improvements.”
The meeting will be an open-house format with no formal presentation. Residents can stop by any time to review displays, ask questions, and discuss the design alternatives with officials. In addition to feedback on alternatives, the KYTC says they want to hear from anyone with pedestrian or bike usage input regarding the U.S. 62 underpass at the railroad tracks between Ring Road and the interchange.
More information on the project and a survey link for anybody that is unable to attend the meeting in person can be found at www.Drive62.com.
