The potential project would connect the AA Highway to I-71.
(Boone County, Ky.) – The cost of alleviating traffic headaches in northern Kentucky is estimated to cost billions.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is considering an outer loop that would provide alternative routes for drivers in the southern portions of Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties, as well as the northern portions of Gallatin, Owen, Grant, Pendleton and Bracken counties.
The estimated cost for the loop that would connect the AA Highway and Interstate 71 has been set at $2 billion.
The KTC began a study in 2018 to evaluate the viability of creating the connector. The hope for the potential connector is to provide economic development opportunities, enhance regional mobility and improve safety.
A decision has yet to be made on whether the project will move forward or not.
