Preston Highway is known as one of the most dangerous corridors in the city, running from downtown to the Bullitt County line, with an average of 715 crashes each year, according to a city study.
Almost 18 months after gathering public input on the future of the corridor, a plan was released this week that calls for major improvements along the 13-mile stretch, such as wider sidewalks, center medians, high visibility crosswalks and better lighting, among others.
The state is looking at how to ease congestion and increase safety for drivers who use the 7-mile corridor the Watterson Expressway and the Gene Snyder Freeway.
