The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet discussed with local leaders from Caldwell, Crittenden and Lyon counties on Monday the plan to expand US 641 between Fredonia and Eddyville.
KYTC said in a release the expansion would connect with the recently completed 641 improvement project between Fredonia and Marion.
There is not yet a preferred route or timetable for the start of construction. The cabinet has collected feedback from officials and the community to guide their plan.
A rerouted 641 could impact a quarry, wetlands and the Western Kentucky Correctional Complex.
The road serves around 4,000 vehicles per day. With an expansion, that number is projected to grow to 5,300 by 2030.
