Construction is getting under way this week on a roundabout at the entrance of the new Kroger development located off of Ring Road in Elizabethtown.
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District Four says grading and pipe installation was scheduled to begin Monday. KYTC District Four Public Information Officer Chris Jessie says the roundabout is the responsibility of the project’s developers.
“Construction of the roundabout is going to feature three different traffic pattern changes there throughout, and this one should last through the end of March, basically, with the next one running to mid-April and then the next one from mid-April to about mid-May when everything should be completed there at the new Kroger location,” Jessie said.
Updates and traffic shift notices for the project will be posted.
“Signage will be in place to instruct motorists what to do, so just slow down when you move into the work zone,” Jessie said. “Just to remind folks: this is all being done by a permit with the developer of the Kroger property there. This is not a KYTC project. It is being administered and paid for by the property developer. KYTC will simply be inspecting and approving the work that is going on.”
The City of Elizabethtown said in a July 2025 Facebook post that the new Kroger development, located at the corner of Ring Road and Patriot Parkway, will feature a 123,000 square foot Kroger Marketplace along with a fuel center and other retail operations.
