County adopts County Road Aid participation and prioritizes resurfacing projects
Summary
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 9 presented rural secondary allocations and recommended resurfacing KY-597 Mount Gillette Road and stretches of Taylor Mill Road; the fiscal court adopted the County Road Aid Cooperative Program resolution and approved the prioritization recommended by KYTC.
Travis Crawford of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (District 9) updated the court on the rural secondary allocation for FY 2024–25. Crawford said the district has a combined funds-available figure of $995,169 (including an undistributed balance) for the coming year and presented recommended expenditures for routine maintenance and improvements.
Crawford recommended an asphalt resurface of KY-597 (Mount Gillette Road) from the Mason County line to the junction with KY-11 (3.118 miles, estimated cost $290,000) and additional resurfacing on Taylor Mill Road (approx. 2.3 miles, estimated cost $205,000), noting that base failures have increased per-mile costs and that available funds may limit project extent.
The court moved and approved Resolution 24-07 to enter the County Road Aid Cooperative Program and subsequently approved Resolution 24-09 adopting the prioritization consistent with the KYTC recommendations. Commissioners asked staff to further refine base-failure estimates and to present a detailed project timeline as costs are finalized.
What happens next: county staff and KYTC will refine project estimates and scheduling; funding will be allocated to the prioritized projects when detailed cost estimates are completed.
