Excavation and ground clearing work has begun on the new connector between U.S. 31-W and Kentucky Route 218 in Horse Cave.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says the connector will help relieve issues with truck traffic at the intersection between the two roads in downtown Horse Cave and the adjacent KY 218 railroad crossing. The connector will also provide better access to and from Interstate 65 and industrial facilities, will reduce the potential for railroad crossing collisions, and will reduce wear and tear on existing streets.

“With that connector being a new route, there really won’t be continual impacts to traffic through there, so that’s good news for folks traveling on KY 218 and 31-W,” said KYTC District Four Public Information Officer Chris Jessie. “There will be intermittent impacts to KY 335 traffic through there. That’s where most of the construction vehicles will be entering and exiting. It’s going to take this year and next year to get it complete, but when it’s all said and done, it’s going to be a lot better in downtown Horse Cave, getting that heavy truck traffic out of that area.”

Scotty’s Contracting and Stone LLC was awarded the $8.85 million contract for the project in January. The completion date specified in the contract is June 30, 2025.
