Trigg County magistrates approved the 2021-2022 rural secondary road plan during their Monday evening meeting.
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District One Maintenance Engineer Michael Oliver told magistrates the county could receive around $1.3 million. He added there was also $158,293 from previous projects that could be used.
Oliver said about a third of the total funding would go toward maintaining all of the rural secondary roads in the county.
Of the $1.3 million in new funding, 20-percent of it, or about $262,740, must go in the county flex funding. The other money will then be used to pave a portion of two rural secondary highways in the county.
Oliver said there would be a portion of U.S. 68/Kentucky 80 that would have some work done to it, as well.
He added crews should finish up the four-lane project on U.S. 68 this summer.
Oliver said the state would also pave the 2020 rural secondary projects that were approved last year but weren’t done because of the pandemic.
The projects approved last year include Kentucky 276/Hurricane Road from Woods Road to Bethesda School Road; Kentucky 124/Cerulean Road from the Horse Creek Bridge to Childress Cemetery Road; and Kentucky 1585/Calendonia Pee Dee Road from the Kentucky 272/Caledonia Road intersection to We Like It Lane. The list also includes Kentucky 164/Linton Road from the Beechy Fork Bridge to Craig Branch Road and Kentucky 958/Barefield Road from U.S. 68 to Dunkerson Road.
