Fiscal Court approves KY Transportation Cabinet recommendations for rural road program
Summary
McCreary County accepted the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's rural secondary program recommendations for fiscal year 2025–2026, approving a resurface project on Kentucky 700 and authorizing staff to submit flex-fund selections to the Cabinet.
McCreary County Fiscal Court on March 13 accepted the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s (KYTC) recommendations for the county’s 2025–2026 rural secondary road program, including a resurface of Kentucky 700.
The county’s rural secondary allotment for the next fiscal year was listed in the KYTC packet as $1,553,628. The county’s rural secondary road system was reported as 139.165 miles. The KYTC document set routine maintenance at $776,800 and listed $3,875 for the county judge’s expense; that leaves $935,713 available for improvements, of which $233,044 was identified as county flex funds.
KYTC recommended resurfacing Kentucky 700 from the end of state maintenance to the intersection with U.S. 27, a distance of 5.487 miles. The Cabinet asked that the fiscal court indicate, when submitting flex-fund recommendations, whether the county plans to perform the work or whether it will be completed by a contractor.
A magistrate made a motion to accept the KYTC recommendations and to forward flex-fund selections; the motion was seconded. The court approved the recommendation by roll call: all present voted yes and the motion carried.
Bradley New, identified in the packet as transportation engineer supervisor, District 8 (Monticello section), authored the KYTC recommendations included in the court’s meeting packet. The court did not at the meeting authorize specific construction contracts; it approved the Cabinet’s list and directed staff to transmit flex-fund choices to KYTC.
Court members and staff noted a project map was included in the packet to show locations. The court did not specify a construction schedule at the meeting; KYTC will manage project timing and contract procurement when funds are programmed.
