Todd and Hopkins counties are one of multiple counties who received funding from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet to go towards street and road repairs and improvements.
According to a news release, the funding will support projects that include resurfacing, patching and sealing, storm drain work, slip repair and in one case, a connector road for economic development. All the projects were submitted to the KYTC Department of Rural and Municipal Aid for discretionary fund consideration. They were evaluated by staff in each of the 12 Department of Highways districts, who considered such factors as safety, traffic volume and economic impact.
The City of Elkton in Todd County received $43,050 in total to go towards resurfacing projects on Morningside Drive, Weathers Avenue, Kinberly Street and Aubrey Campbell Drive.
In Hopkins County, local government received $473,151 to help resurface Old Nortonville Road, Frank Cox Road, Dockery Road, Hollis Lane and Old Price Road.
