The federal government has awarded almost $60 million for transportation projects in Kentucky.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao announced the funding Tuesday. The grants are part of $1.5 billion appropriated for the program and are intended to improve safety at the locations.
The grants include $25 million to Pulaski County to replace the Kentucky 80/Kentucky 461 intersection and the Valley Oak Drive-Coin Road intersection.
Also, $23 million goes to Calloway County to add two lanes and shoulders along almost 6 miles (9.6 kilometers) of U.S. 641.
The third grant is $11.5 million and goes to help the Owensboro Riverport Authority widen and improve almost 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) of Kentucky 331/Industrial Drive and Rinaldo Road.
