Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District Four has released an update on plans for improvements on U.S. 62/Mulberry Street in Elizabethtown.
KYTC District Four says plans to address safety and congestion along Mulberry Street are moving forward after public input was collected via a public meeting at the Elizabethtown Tourism Building on August 13 and an online survey. Based on feedback from stakeholders and the public along with a review by the project team, the selected final design elements are:
-Right-in/right-out restricting of left turns at Main Street and Mulberry Street
-A dual lane roundabout at the intersection with Ring Road
-A dog bone roundabout interchange at Interstate 65
“A lot of feedback from that August meeting was reviewed and combined with safety data and considerations, budgeting, and the railroad overpass complication there on Mulberry to come up with these decisions on moving the project forward,” said KYTC District Four Public Information Officer Chris Jessie.
Plans for the project also include roundabouts at French Street, Commerce Drive, and Howell Drive along with a new route to connect Buffalo Creek Drive to U.S. 62 at Commerce Drive.
The project now moves to the final design phase, with the purchase of right of way possibly beginning as early as late 2025. Visit www.drive62.com for more project info.
