Description

The mission of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is to provide a transportation system that delivers economic opportunity and enhances the quality of life in the Commonwealth. A new route in eastern Kentucky illustrates this mission focus. KY 873 in Clay County will provide direct access from the Hal Rogers Parkway to the Elk Mountain Industrial Park. The three-mile route will also make access to the Hal Rogers Parkway easier from portions of KY 149 and U.S. 421. In the past, access to the parkway from isolated stretches of these roads has been hampered during winter weather events or emergency road closures. The $20 million project is expected to be completed by early June.
