Improving Exit 58 

Improving Future I-569 at Exit 58 will address safety, traffic flow, and function at the US 431 interchange with the Western Kentucky Parkway in Central City. The goal is to reconstruct the interchange to interstate standards in advance of upgrading the Western Kentucky Parkway to I-569. 

The Project Development Team is considering two alternatives to improve the interchange. Both alternatives provide additional space to safely merge onto and exit from the Western Kentucky Parkway and reduce weaving when using on and off ramps. 

In addition to improving the interchange of Future I-569 at Exit 58, the team is looking at access control improvements to the busy US 431 commercial corridor north of the interchange. 

Anticipated Timeline 

Improving Exit 58 is in the environmental and preliminary design stage. Activities include traffic analysis, maintenance of traffic plans, road design and survey work. The Project Development Team is coordinating with local, state and federal officials throughout the project.  

Construction is expected to begin in spring 2028.
