Powell CO – KY 613

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $1,241,900 to the Executive Office of the Commonwealth of Kentucky on July 31, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to address flooding issues on Kentucky State Route 613 in Powell County. The project scope encompasses corrective infrastructure improvements on KY 613 at Bowen from KY 11 to the bridge over Red River, designed to mitigate recurring flood-related conditions on this state highway corridor.

This formula grant allocation supports the state's transportation infrastructure priorities as determined through Kentucky's established transportation planning processes. The funding enables the Commonwealth to execute highway preservation and improvement activities that enhance public safety and infrastructure resilience, consistent with the Highway Planning and Construction program's authorizing framework under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. As the primary recipient of federal transportation grants, the Executive Office of the Commonwealth of Kentucky manages implementation through its established stewardship and oversight responsibilities for highway projects within the state.
