Utility Coordination

​​​​​

​
The Utilities and Rail Branch administers the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's Utility Relocation function,  Railroad Coordination, and the Railroad Crossing Safety Program.
 
Towards the goal of Utility Relocation, the Branch supports the District Utilities Supervisors statewide. This is achieved through the review of relocation plans, proposals, agreements, and active support of District utility personnel. The Branch facilitates relocation agreements, invoice payments, and coordination of work with other agencies and other Cabinet Divisions.
 
The Cabinet’s utility relocation process is designed to be as flexible as possible to allow utility companies to utilize their own planning, design, construction, and accounting procedures to the greatest extent.  Proactive utility coordination early in the project life cycle will minimize the amount of effort needed later in the project or during construction and minimizes costly and time-consuming unexpected issues.
 
The Cabinet encourages avoidance of utility facilities by providing the design team with information, analysis, and subject matter expertise to avoid potential utility impacts.  If those impacts are unavoidable, staff will work to relocate utility facilities within a project in an orderly and fiscally responsible manner.  The process emphasizes communication among those whose work impacts utility coordination in transportation projects including communication between the Utilities and Rail Branch and utility owners to accurately identify and resolve issues with facilities that are affected by transportation projects as early as possible in the project life cycle.
