If Gov. Steve Beshear's Kentucky Highway Plan for fiscal years 2010 through 2016 is approved by the General Assembly, local counties will benefit from the plan, especially Mason County which has been earmarked for approximately $129.8 million over the next four years in road projects.
Beshear recommended the six-year highway plan to the General Assembly, Tuesday and the plan envisions an investment of $10,986,304,876 in Kentucky's transportation infrastructure, according to a press release from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's Office of Public Affairs.
Each county in the Buffalo Trace Region has been allocated money to improve roadways and in some cases, extend bypasses to accommodate growing traffic flow, but the lion's share, if approved will impact U.S. 68 south of Washington, Kentucky 9, and access to Kentucky 11.
The funding is a combination of traditional federal and state highway funds and bond sales. The plan identifies more projects that would be eligible for federal stimulus funding and assumes a nontraditional funding source for the Louisville-Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges project.
