94.3 the Wolf Country That'll Make You Howl!
A revised preferred alternative for the U.S. 150 Improvement Project between KY 49/Loretto Road and just west of KY 245 in Bardstown has been announced.
According to Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District Four, the project is being conducted in partnership with the Federal Highways Administration. The purpose of the project is to alleviate traffic congestion and improve safety.
“There has been a lot of focus on the US 150 corridor over the last decade,” said KYTC District Four Public Information Officer Chris Jessie. “Now, primarily what you’ve seen go to construction at this point has been between Bardstown and Springfield. Of course, a couple of years ago, we wrapped up that project around the parkway interchange, and then now the ongoing project is near the Washington County line into Washington County.”
The next phase of the project is in Bardstown, from My Old Kentucky Home out to about the Bardstown Walmart.
“There’s a lot of crash history there to support needed improvements, safety improvements, and the corridor is obviously a busy one and really needs to provide a better level of service for all types of vehicles through that area,” Jessie said.
The work will include widening the roadway from two lanes to add a center turn lane, relocating Pottershop Loop to create a roundabout intersection with U.S. 150 and Springhill Drive, and the construction of a roundabout at the intersection of U.S. 150 and KY 49.
Updated exhibits and a virtual look at the revised preferred alternative is available on the KYTC District Four website.
