LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Rapid growth in eastern Jefferson and Shelby counties has the state of Kentucky weighing whether to add a new exit off of Interstate 64 or build another route connecting drivers north and south.
Right now on I-64 between the Gene Snyder and Simpsonville, there is a nine-mile stretch without an exit.
Wednesday night, citizens got a look at the next phase of the I-64 Interchange and Connector Planning Study. It looks at adding an exit between the Gene Snyder and Buck Creek Road in Shelby County.
In addition, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is asking for feedback on three potential options for a north-south route. All three connect between Shelbyville Road, near Eastwood and Taylorsville Road, near Fisherville. But each vary in length, location and estimated cost.
"Whichever one is chosen, we will come back, study that more, and then we will have our final report in the fall," said Morgan Woodrum, a spokesperson for KYTC District 5.
