Public meeting over Beech Creek Road today

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has scheduled a public information meeting to present alternates to the geometric alignment for an upcoming road project.

The cabinet will host the public meeting March 14th from 5-7 p.m. at Manchester Elementary over the expansion of Ky. 3472 to the Bert T. Combs Park and along Beech Creek Road, extending to Ky. 11.

The projects are set for 2024 on Beech Creek Road. Project 80253 calls for the improvement of geometric alignment from Ky. 3472 at milepoint 1.7 continuing past the Bert T. Combs Park to the intersection of Beech Creek Road and White Oak Road (approximately 1.5 miles to improve). Design phase will began in 2023 at $1.3 million with right-of-way purchase starting in 2024. Project 80254 will pickup where the first project stopped on Beech Creek Road at White Oak intersection and go to Ky. 11 (at Sutton Branch and cover four mile of roadway). Design was set for 2023 at $1.6 million and right-of-way purchase in 2024.

Once completed, those traveling from the Oneida area will have a faster route to Manchester via this new roadway.

The purpose of this meeting is to present the alternates for review and to ask for feedback from attendees regarding the projects. KYTC will have representatives available to answer questions concerning the proposed design, right of way acquisition process and project schedule. Comment forms will be provided, and they may be returned before the meeting ends or for a period of two weeks after the meeting. This meeting will be conducted in an open format with no formal presentation, meaning that you may attend at any point during the time indicated above.
