Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) staff presented the 2024-25 secondary recommendations for Carlisle County, reporting a county allocation of $757,811 and a remaining balance from fiscal 2023-24 of $82,375. After a proposed deduction for maintenance and traffic allotments of $341,000, the subtotal identified was $495,311; the county flex funds for improvements were listed as $189,453, leaving about $305,858 available for improvements.
KYTC and county staff proposed prioritizing Kentucky Route 1377 (from KY 80 to Barlow Road) with an estimated project cost of $163,650 as the first candidate. A second priority discussed was KY 1820 (US 62 to KY 1653), with routing and local access concerns noted. County road staff flagged recent problems with barricade placement and a blowout near Hill Road and Ramloat Farm, stressing safety concerns ahead of the school year.
Officials said they would accept the KYTC recommendations and pursue the prioritized improvements; the court expressed trust in staff decisions and asked the road department to coordinate project scheduling and barricade management to improve safety.
County members noted limited local budgets until July 1 and raised concerns about contractor availability and timing for concrete repairs and shoulder work, indicating some projects may slip until funds become available.
