KY Road Plan Passes
KENTUCKY...
The House and Senate completed a six days special session late Saturday night after passing a $4.45 billion two-year road plan, a $17.3 billion state budget and a successful effort to fix the state's unemployment fund. The road plan features about $400 million in new state bonding. One provision drawing attention was language authorizing the Transportation Cabinet to erect median barriers along a stretch of Interstate 65 in south central Kentucky where many deadly crashes have occurred recently.
