US-31E Safety Improvements

Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park » US-31E Safety Improvements » Document List

The National Park Service (NPS) is considering the granting of a Special Use Permit at the Lincoln Boyhood Home (LBH) Unit of the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Park to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet for a roadway improvement project (KYTC Item #4-8504).

The purpose of this project is to correct roadway geometric deficiencies that currently exist on US-31E in LaRue County between mile points 16.3 and 18.6. These deficiencies have contributed to numerous severe crashes on this section of US 31E over the past several decades. In addition to correcting these deficiencies, an additional purpose of this project is to protect several areas of US-31E from further erosion caused by Knob Creek. The limits of the proposed work go beyond the boundaries of the LBH Unit and include a number of spot improvements
