Ky. 2 improvements is meeting topic
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet will host a public information meeting this week on proposed improvements to Ky. 2 in Greenup County.
Through its consultant engineers, THE Engineers Inc., the Transportation Cabinet is considering ways to improve driving conditions on Ky. 2 between U.S. 23 at Greenup and the Little Sandy River crossing at Alcorn Road.
Three alternative designs for improving the roadway, as well as a no-build alternative, have been developed and will be on display from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 18, at Greenup Christian Church, 711 Main St., Greenup.
The designs propose a new route either slightly north or south of the existing route that would correct roadway deficiencies – narrow lanes, lack of sight distance, excessive curves and eroded embankments – and that would increase safety by providing a highway built to current standards.
Detailed maps and plans showing the path of each alternate route and the proposed roadway corrections will be available at Thursday’s meeting.
It’s important that the public attend this meeting because comments and other information gathered there will guide the Transportation Cabinet in its effort to improve Ky. 2 in Greenup County. The meeting will follow an “open house” format with Transportation Cabinet officials and project consultants available to receive comments and answer questions. Questionnaires will be distributed.
For more information, write to Department of Highways District 9, P.O. Box 347, Flemingsburg, Ky., 41041, or call toll-free (800) 817-2551.
