Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District Four is set to begin a widening project for KY 251/Shepherdsville Road in Hardin County.
According to KYTC District Four, the project will run between KY 3005/Ring Road and KY 434/Battle Training Road. Driving lanes currently range between 9 and 9.5 feet wide with minimal shoulders. Dirt Works Unlimited was awarded the project contract for $11.045 million to widen the existing road and shoulders along with reconstruction of the Shepherdsville Road/Ring Road intersection.
Initial work will include right of way clearing this winter followed by dirt work this spring. Base layers will be constructed this year with final surface work next year, with the contract completion date set for October 1, 2027.
Traffic will be impacted with lane closures, flaggers, and speed limit reductions. Follow KYTC District Four on social media for updates.
