Jefferson - bluegrass commerce park bike/PED trail PH II

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $2,662,500 to the Executive Office of the Commonwealth of Kentucky on May 20, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to construct a bicycle and pedestrian trail in Jefferson County. The project, titled "Jefferson - Bluegrass Commerce Park Bike/Ped Trail Phase II," involves developing multimodal active transportation infrastructure along two corridors: a bicycle/pedestrian trail along Bluegrass Parkway extending from Blankenbaker Parkway to Tucker Station Road, and trail improvements along Tucker Station Road from Bluegrass Parkway to Plantside Drive. This formula grant deliverable aligns with the Highway Planning and Construction program's stated priority of developing comprehensive active transportation network improvements and represents the second phase of a larger trails development initiative within the Bluegrass Commerce Park area.

As the state transportation authority, the Executive Office of the Commonwealth of Kentucky serves as the primary recipient responsible for project delivery and oversight. The bicycle and pedestrian trail system will enhance multimodal connectivity in the commercial park corridor while supporting the FHWA's objectives for transportation safety improvements and alternative transportation infrastructure development across Kentucky's highway network.
