Construction To Improve Highway Into Letcher County
In a step to improve U.S.119 into Letcher County, construction crews are working on a section of road that starts 1.3 miles east of the Harlan County line. Officials say, while the area is less than a mile, it is one step of many to create a good route over Pine Mountain into the Whitesburg area. Kay and Kay Contracting of London began the work on March 17th. and has a little over 400 working days to complete the job. Officials say from the Letcher County line to the foot of Pine Mountain is some of the most treacherous highway in the state.
