https://transportation.ky.gov/NewsRoom/Boone%20Co%20INFRA%20Grant.pdfProject improvements
Replacement of the existing conventional diamond I-71/I-75 interchanges at KY 338 (Richwood
Road) and KY 536 (Mt. Zion Road) with double crossover diamond (DCD) interchanges. These
improvements eliminate bottlenecks and improve safety;
Reconstruction of the intersection of U.S. 25 and KY 338 just east of the I-71/I-75 interchange with
KY 338 to construct a Single Point Urban Interchange (SPUI), eliminating two at-grade rail
crossings;
Construction of northbound and southbound auxiliary lanes along I-71/I-75 north of the KY 536
interchange (MP 178.039 to MP 180.06); and
Enhancements including minor widening along KY 536 and KY 338 to accommodate turn lanes,
intersection improvements, access management and non-motorized transportation improvements.
Construction for portions of the project will begin in 2019. The estimated completion for the entire project
is the winter of 2021.
