KY 90 Happy Valley Road Corridor Improvement Project in Barren County Set to Begin

The project addresses the corridor between Cave City and Glasgow

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (Oct. 2, 2025) A project to enhance safety and efficiency along a 9-mile section of the KY 90 Happy Valley Road corridor in Barren County is set to begin. Construction will be done in phases along the KY 90 route between   Cave City and Glasgow. The project represents a more than $6.5 million investment in infrastructure improvements in Barren County on KY 90.  

The limits of the project are between Sanders Street (mile point 0.2) and U.S. 68 Veterans Outer Loop (mile point 8.5). The project adds alternating passing lanes and new turn lanes at different points along the corridor. Drainage improvement work, guardrail work, shoulder improvements, passing lane extensions and vegetation trimming are also included in spots along the route. 

Construction is expected to begin Monday, Oct. 6 for work on a turn lane from KY 90 to Harry King Road. Motorists should expect lane closures and construction crews working from near Flint Knob Road (mile point 7) to Gibbons Road (mile point 5).  

The entire corridor project is expected to be completed in early fall of 2026. Scotty’s Contracting & Stone LLC was awarded the contract in July.
