Metcalfe awarded $235K for resurfacing projects By Crystal Staley/Naitore Djigbenou Frankfort, KY - On April 20, 2021, Gov. Andy Beshear announced renewed road and infrastructure repairs are coming for much of the commonwealth through a $5 million transportation investment. Nearly 60 miles of roadway will be resurfaced, repaired or built with the funding. Locally, Metcalfe County will receive $235,200 to resurface about 3 miles of CR 1227 (Apple Grove). The City of Edmonton will receive $16,450 to resurface Beauchamp Street. Projects submitted to the Department of Rural and Municipal Aid for discretionary fund consideration were evaluated by the KYTC district staff to assess the condition of roads and determine the most critical needs based on factors such as safety, economic impact and traffic volumes. The awardee for each project - the county fiscal court or city council - is responsible for administering the work and will be reimbursed by the Transportation Cabinet. "Better roads make for a better Kentucky," said Gov. Beshear. "This infusion of funding will improve the safety of routes Kentuckians rely on daily to stay connected within their communities. It also will fund new roadways to improve access and mobility." In 2020, Gov. Beshear announced a total investment of nearly $17 million in discretionary funds to improve local infrastructure. A total of 32 cities and counties will be included in the most recent $5 million funding award to complete nearly 70 projects. The funding will be administered by the Department of Rural and Municipal Aid within the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC). A list of awarded projects is available here: https://governor.ky.gov/attachments/2021-05_Discretionary-Funding-Awards.pdf. All but five of the awards are for roadway resurfacing projects that will address existing surface cracks, potholes, raveling and base failures. One award will fund a new access road to a convention center in Hopkinsville, reducing congestion during large events and providing emergency responders an alternate access route. Another $140,000 award will fund a new street in Cadiz, providing school buses a safer route while supporting new businesses in the area. "Improving the condition of our roads is more than cosmetic," said KYTC Secretary Jim Gray. "Good roads attract business and support economic development at a time when we need it most."
