Safety is a government's greatest responsibility. That includes safe roads, safe bridges, and safe infrastructure.
Thank you to Governor Beshear for stopping by to provide an update on the I-65 Central Corridor Project. We are committed to supporting and staying in close contact with KYTC as they work to get this critical infrastructure work done the right way.
Louisville, you have shown tremendous patience and flexibility. We'll keep working to keep you in the loop every step of the way.
