​HIGHLIGHTS

The Kentucky Department of Highways District 9 and consultant engineering firm QK4 have begun the Boyd-Greenup County Small Urban Area Study.

Its focus is to identify existing safety and traffic congestion issues on all state-maintained roadways and chosen local routes in a 50-square-mile area that includes the US 23 corridor between Catlettsburg, Ashland, and Greenup and along the US 60 corridor between Ashland and Cannonsburg in Boyd County.

Engineers will use analysis of traffic data - both now and projected to 2050 - and public input to look at those issues, then identify possible highway improvements that could meet existing and future transportation needs.
