Frankfort, KY – (March 27, 2006) – More highway construction, maintenance and upgrade projects across Kentucky now have the green light. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has just approved additional contracts worth more than $23 million.
“Kentucky’s intricate highway system makes up the fabric of our economy,” said Governor Ernie Fletcher. “These highway projects are given considerable thought because each is equally important.”
Examples of the new projects include:
