The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) is fully committed to public involvement in order to gain insights and receive feedback as part of the project development process. Public input was sought during the preliminary engineering phase via two public meetings and an online survey. The project team continues to work closely with local partners to ensure communities surrounding the project area have the opportunity to provide feedback.
