This is just a test of Gov Delivery for me
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (Nov. 22, 2021) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) District 3 Office announces the start of the next phase widening of U.S. 31-W Nashville Road in southern Warren County. Motorists will notice construction signs going up in the coming days in the Rich Pond area as the project to widen U.S. 31-W Nashville Road from Dillard Road (mile point 6.7) to south of Buchanon Park (mile point 4) begins. Most of the work for the immediate future will be done off the roadway.
The road is being widen to five lanes, with two 12-foot travel lane in each direction, a center turn lane and 8-foot shoulders. This configuration matches the previous phase of U.S. 31-W widening that stopped near Dillard Road. The project will also feature a multiuse path on the east side of U.S. 31-W connecting South Warren High School to Buchanon Park. A pedestrian walkway under U.S. 31-W from Buchanon Park to Chaney’s Dairy Barn will also be added.
Construction updates and traffic impacts will be provided as the project progresses. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2022. Scotty’s Contracting & Stone LLC was awarded the contract in the amount of $9,801,251.89 in August for the project.
