The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet will host a public information meeting July 7 to gather input on a proposed improvement project for U.S. 60 in Woodford County, according to a press release from KYTC District 7.

The meeting will take place from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at King’s Way Church, 4175 Lexington Road, Versailles. The public information session will allow residents to review and comment on alternatives being considered to improve highway capacity and safety on U.S. 60 from the Bluegrass Parkway to Pisgah Pike.

The proposed project includes widening U.S. 60 from its current configuration to a six-lane roadway throughout the corridor. Additionally, the intersections of Huntertown Road and Pisgah Pike will be reconstructed as Reduced Conflict U-Turn (RCUT) intersections, a design that has proven to improve safety and traffic flow at similar locations throughout Kentucky.

“The RCUT design has fewer traffic lights and stops when compared to a standard intersection, resulting in shorter wait times,” according to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. The design also “reduce[s] the number of points where vehicles cross paths, especially at right angles,” which reduces crash risk.

Transportation Cabinet representatives will be available at the meeting to receive comments and respond to questions. The meeting will be conducted in an open format, allowing interested parties to attend at any point during the two-hour session. Both written and oral statements will be accepted.

Written comments will be accepted at the meeting and for 15 days afterward. They should be addressed to Rob Sprague, Project Manager, at the Kentucky Department of Highways Highway District 7 Office, 800 Newtown Court, Lexington, KY 40511. Those requiring accommodations should contact Sprague no later than Friday, July 3, at (859) 246-2355.

More information about the project is available online.
