Jefferson - bernheim lane sidewalk and road reconfiguration

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $860,000 to the Executive Office of the Commonwealth of Kentucky on August 13, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to fund the Jefferson-Bernheim Lane Sidewalk and Road Reconfiguration project. The project will construct approximately 1,150 linear feet of continuous 5-foot sidewalk on the north/east side of Bernheim Lane extending from Dixie Highway to Algonquin Parkway in Kentucky. This initiative addresses pedestrian infrastructure needs while simultaneously reconfiguring the existing roadway from a four-lane highway to a two-lane through-lane configuration with a center, two-way left-turn lane.

The project exemplifies the FHWA's Highway Planning and Construction program's emphasis on multimodal transportation network development and pedestrian facility improvements. As a formula grant distributed through statutory allocations to state transportation authorities, the funding supports Kentucky's broader transportation infrastructure priorities administered through the state's established planning processes, with the Executive Office of the Commonwealth serving as the primary recipient responsible for project delivery and oversight in coordination with local planning authorities.
