Public Meeting on KY 144 reconstruction in Daviess County scheduled for Thursday

 

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) has scheduled a public informational meeting this Thursday to present results of alignment studies for reconstruction of a section of KY 144 near the intersection with Pleasant Valley Road in Daviess County.  The project is aimed at improving safety by realigning several curves along about a 1-mile section of KY 144 between mile point 6.3 and mile point 7.3.

A meeting last December allowed public input on preliminary roadway alignments that were being studied.  According to KYTC District 2 Project Development Engineer John Rudd, this meeting is to share the final alignment for the project.
