Three area counties receive funds through rubber-modified asphalt program
Three area counties are among recent state road funding recipients.
Governor Andy Beshear and the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet announced on Friday that about $886,000 had been awarded to seven counties “to improve the safety of area roadways and to support the reuse of waste tires through rubber-modified asphalt projects.”
According to a release from the Energy and Environment Cabinet, the grant funding will be used for the application of asphalt overlay on county roads, with the overlays using rubber-modified asphalt. The Energy and Environment Cabinet says rubber-modified asphalt has been shown to reduce road noise and increase roadway life by seven to 10 years.
Hardin County received about $136,000 to resurface County Road 1274/Flint Hill Road. LaRue County received about $160,000 to resurface Country Lane. Meade County received about $139,000 to resurface Flaherty Road.
The grant money comes from the Kentucky Waste Tire Trust Fund. As a condition of the funding, the counties agree to pay for conventional chip sealing or a thin overlay on a road with similar characteristics to allow for comparison between conventional and rubber-modified asphalt.
Learn more about the grant program on the Energy and Environment Cabinet’s website.
