Barren - US-31E

The Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration awarded the Executive Office of the Commonwealth of Kentucky $1,467,020 on May 26, 2026, through the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (CFDA 20.287) for highway infrastructure rehabilitation on US-31E in Barren County, Kentucky.

The award funds pavement resurfacing and related roadway improvements addressing deteriorated conditions on a 4.065-mile segment of US-31E between milepoint 8.052 and milepoint 12.117. The work is performed in Kentucky with a period of performance extending through October 31, 2027.

The STBG program provides flexible funding to States and localities for projects preserving and improving conditions and performance on any Federal-aid highway, bridge, and tunnel project. The Executive Office of the Commonwealth of Kentucky serves as the primary recipient and administrative authority, coordinating project delivery through its transportation infrastructure program and state-administered federal-aid highway system. The organization passes through federal transportation funding to counties, municipalities, and local public agencies across Kentucky for highway, bridge, pedestrian, bicycle, and multimodal infrastructure improvements.
