Bluelick Road Widening and Reconstruction

Summary

Louisville Paving and Construction took on the role of the prime contractor in the Bluelick Road Widening and Reconstruction project, commissioned by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC). Spanning two years, this initiative encompassed a comprehensive collection of services, including grading and drainage operations and the construction of a bridge with box culvert extensions. The project presented unique challenges, calling for the maintenance and construction of entrances and driveways to over 100 residential and commercial establishments. With over 2 miles of underground storm installation routed through a maze of underground and overhead utility easements, the project demanded meticulous precision. Additionally, the paramount objective of maintaining uninterrupted traffic flow throughout the project further heightened the complexity.
