The proposed project is needed since both intersections have experienced an elevated crash problem due to poor sight distance.\u00a0 This project is being developed through the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), and the preferred alternate is the installation of mini-roundabouts at the two intersections. The roundabouts are intended to remain almost entirely within the current intersection footprint, thereby reducing the cost, and environmental and utility impact of other alternates considered. Once completed, the roundabouts are also expected to improve traffic performance through the intersections. \u00a0 Current Intersection Summary Existing conditions at both intersections includes large rock faces in three of the four quadrants which greatly limits the Intersection Sight Distance (ISD).\u00a0 This is a likely contributing factor to the elevated crash rate.\u00a0 Over a five-year period across both intersections, there have been 36 crashes including eight injuries and one fatality. \u00a0 Maintenance of Traffic and Alternate Routes It is anticipated that alternating one-way traffic will be maintained on US-25W throughout the duration of construction by temporary signals.\u00a0 The preferred mini-roundabout alternative will require the Exit 15 ramp terminals be shut down for approximately six weeks.\u00a0 However, construction will be planned for the summer when school is out to minimize disruption to local traffic. Alternate routes will include the use of Exit 11 to the South, and Exit 25 to the North. \u00a0 Project Input The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet would like to seek input from the public about this proposal, especially from drivers who use this road regularly or from people who live in the area.\u00a0 If you have any questions or concerns about this project, or would like any additional information, please contact the District-11 Environmental Coordinator at the email address below: Joshuaj.higgins@ky.gov"}
