KYTC has advanced into final design of the preferred alternate of this project and is now starting the right of way acquisition phase. Property owners that may be impacted will be receiving project information in the mail, and meetings will be scheduled soon to discuss impacts in further detail.
We anticipate completion of the right of way acquisition phase approximately Spring 2026. The utility relocation phase would begin approximately Spring 2026, and if funding is available, we are hopeful to start construction in mid-2027.
Below is an updated exhibit showing the proposed road improvements, construction limits, and new property lines.

A public meeting was held on December 13th, 2023 at the Stinnetville Community Church to discuss improvements along KY 86 in Breckinridge County from Jesse Priest Road and Rosetta Corners Road. Three alternates were presented for input. Two of the alternates followed closely to the existing roadway while improving roadway width and curvature. One alternate was a “cross country” alternate that completely realigned the roadway in this area. There was a good turnout to the meeting and KYTC received several comments and completed questionnaires. A new alternate that combined attributes of previous alternates was created to address comments, minimize the impacts to homes and properties and still meet project needs. This alternate was reviewed and selected as the “preferred alternate”. KYTC has advanced into final design of this project and anticipate an opportunity to start purchasing right-of-way in Spring 2025. As part of the design stage, there will be geotechnical exploration conducted, currently scheduled for late January or early February 2025. Depending on the progression of right of way acquisition and funding, utility relocation may begin as early as January 2026. If there are any questions about this project, please contact:
