LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Homeowners concerned about losing their homes to a proposed bypass in Glendale, Kentucky, no longer need to worry.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet had been considering a plan for a bypass in northwest Glendale that would have forced several homeowners to sell their homes to the state through right-of-way acquisition.
A traffic mobility study was conducted to look at different alternatives for the bypass. KYTC released the findings of the study on Thursday, and said the concept of a northwest bypass wasn't recommended because it was "met with substantial public opposition largely related to the potential for residential relocations."Â
Now, the agency is recommending a bypass along Glendale-Hodgenville Road and New Glendale Road.
KYTC said the bypass will help with an increase in traffic from the new BlueOval SK Battery Plants.
The state of Kentucky is also working on plans for a potential new exit on Interstate 65 at Gilead Church Road.
