More than $27 million in asphalt rehabilitation projects have been awarded by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet as the spring construction season gets underway.

The first asphalt projects of the season are distributed over 45 counties.

“Maintaining our roadways is one of the most important responsibilities of the Transportation Cabinet,” Kentucky Transportation Secretary Mike Hancock said. “Well-maintained roads are safer for motorists. They’re also important for economic development and community growth.”

The awarded projects span the Commonwealth, from Ballard County in the west to Boyd County in the east. They range in cost from $1.9 million for improvement of Dixie Highway (U.S. 31W) in Hardin County to $41,000 for improvement of Bloomfield Road (KY 55) in Spencer County.

In all, nearly 60 asphalt rehab contracts were awarded in April with more to be awarded this year.

Approved Butler County Projects – Two sections of roadway including a 0.7-mile section of KY 70 (Brownsville Road) from U.S. 231 to KY 79 and a 0.4-mile section of U.S. 231 (Bowling Green Road-South Main Street) from KY 1468 to the William Natcher Parkway northbound entrance ramp. Scotty’s Contracting and Stone LLC was awarded the contract for $199,460. Completion date: Nov. 15, 2013
