Update: January, 2025
Construction begins in March, 2025 on the new section of the Leitchfield Bypass, connecting KY 259 near the Western Kentucky Parkway Interchange to US 62 and KY 54 on the northwest side of the city. Multiple alternates for the alignment were presented during an August 2018 public meeting in Leitchfield, referenced at the bottom of this webpage. The chosen design utilizes the best overall fit for cost, constructability, public feedback, right of way impacts to landowners (including utility and railroad interests) and for addressing current and future transportation needs. The project was awarded January 29th, 2025 in the amount of $22.77 Million to Scotty's Contracting and Stone, LLC.
