KY 54 is one of the busiest stretches of roadway in Daviess County, with around 32,000 cars passing between Heartland Crossing Boulevard, just west of the US 60 bypass, and Bold Forbes Way in the east every day. To better accommodate existing traffic and allow for continued development in the area, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is in the process of widening the roadway from two to three lanes in each direction and adding a concrete safety median for added safety.
