The Transportation Cabinet wants to remind motorists about the closure for the Dolphin Drive and Josale Drive intersection roundabout construction that starts today. Access to Kroger, the US Post Office and 2935 Office Park is available via Dolphin Drive from Prospect Point Drive. Access to businesses on Josale Drive can be accessed from Ring Road and Dolphin Drive businesses can be accessed from North Mulberry. Message boards will be placed along Mulberry and Ring Roads to help drivers to navigate through the area. The intersection will be closed for 15 days. On April 6 the intersection will reopen but roundabout construction will continue. At that time flaggers will direct traffic until the completion of the project at the end of April.

State Senator Matt Deneen has been busy since he arrived in Frankfort at the beginning of the year. He presented three bills for consideration during this legislative session. “Senate Bill 119 was just signed into law by the Governor just the other day. Kentucky is currently ranked fifth in the nation when it comes to sexual assaults. We really wanted to look at ways that we could tighten up the law. So we looked at best practices from other states. We worked with county attorneys, with Commonwealth attorneys, with advocacy lawyers for domestic abuse homes and clinics. This bill, I think, will help change the Commonwealth when it comes to giving the judges and the prosecutors the tools they need to prosecute these perpetrators and to also assign IPOs and DVOs to those victims,” shared Senator Matt Deneen. Deneen also got Senate Bill 49 – a law to extend the time period option six alternative certification teachers had to complete their teaching certifications – and Senate Bill 60 – a law to assist military members from Kentucky renew their motorcycle licenses when stationed outside of Kentucky – passed into law.
