McLean County Receives $666k in Rural Secondary Road Funds
Resurfacing approved for KY 254
MADISONVILLE, Ky. (October 29, 2025) – Engineers from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet met with the McLean County Fiscal Court recently to make their annual presentation of funds from the Rural Secondary (RS) Program, announcing $666,830 in funding that will go to repair roadways within the county.
RS funds are used to improve rural secondary state maintained roadways in counties across Kentucky. These are roads that are important to the local community, serving to connect smaller cities to urban areas and functioning as farm-to-market routes for the agriculture community.
The Rural Secondary Program is funded through Kentucky's gas tax.
Based on the funding formula of the RS program, 60 percent of the RS funding allocated to McLean County, or $410,423, will go to one project recommended by KYTC, and approved by the court. That is the resurfacing of KY 254 from KY 81 to KY 1155 (2.3 miles).
The remaining 40 percent, or $256,407, are called "Flex Funds." County officials can vote to return those funds to the state to make repairs on other state roads in the county, or they can retain them for their own use. Magistrates voted unanimously to keep those funds for repairs on county maintained roads.
The county can now utilize those funds to improve and repair county roads within McLean County.
