Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District Four will be hosting a public hearing in two weeks regarding the updated environmental assessment of the proposed extension of KY 3005/Ring Road from the Western Kentucky Parkway to U.S. 31W.
The KYTC and Federal Highway Administration will be “offering review of the environmental assessment and updated project information regarding the proposed extension” at 5:30 p.m. on November 18 at the Hardin County Extension Office, located at 111 Opportunity Way in Elizabethtown.
“This project was really designed and ready to go about a decade ago but never ultimately got funded, so in that timeframe when it’s sat on the shelf, so to speak, some federal approvals and guidelines we have to follow for any project just weren’t current anymore, so we’re having to kind of go back and revisit some of these things, and that’s part of this process now with the environmental assessment,” said KYTC District Four Public Information Officer Chris Jessie.
The proposed extension would be about 2 miles in length, going from the current Ring Road/WKP interchange east with a new at-grade intersection with KY 1136, a new interchange with I-65, and a new intersection with U.S. 31W.
Public comments on the environmental assessment will be accepted until December 3. A hard copy of the assessment is available for review at the Hardin County Public Library and KYTC District Four’s office.
