Lyon County approves $85,410 agreement to replace Ralph Batty Road culvert
Summary
The Lyon County Fiscal Court authorized the judge executive to sign a memorandum of agreement with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet to replace a three‑sided culvert on Ralph Batty Road, approving $85,410 for the project and an estimated 4–6 week single‑lane closure.
The Lyon County Fiscal Court on March 12 authorized a memorandum of agreement with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet to replace a three‑sided concrete culvert on Ralph Batty Road, approving $85,410 for the work.
Court members voted to adopt Resolution 2026‑05, which ratifies the agreement and authorizes the judge executive to sign on the county’s behalf. The project manager told the court the replacement will widen and modernize the structure; officials estimated a four‑to‑six‑week closure with one‑lane, alternating traffic during construction.
The judge executive presented the resolution in summary form and said the full agreement is available in the Judge Executive’s office. Commissioners who inspected the site discussed safety improvements and wider opening dimensions compared with the current narrow structure.
No formal roll‑call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript; the court stated “yes” for the listed members and noted one member absent. The resolution text in the packet lists the project amount as $85,410 and specifies the county’s acceptance of the memorandum’s terms and conditions.
The court directed staff and the county attorney to finalize procurement steps and the traffic‑control plan with the Transportation Cabinet. Construction timing will depend on final contract execution and cabinet scheduling.
The county will post the fully executed agreement in its public records when available, and staff said they will coordinate notifications to affected residents before the road closure begins.
