KY 801 Reconstruction
In Rowan and Fleming Counties
From Industry Road to KY 158

At a December 2021 public meeting, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet presented several design alternatives to rebuild KY 801 from the MMRC John Will Stacy Business Park to the KY 158 intersection in Rowan County to address the highway’s deficiencies and improve its overall safety, mobility and connectivity. Questionnaires and comments were collected and documented. Engineers considered all input, as well as data on safety, trending traffic patterns, commercial and residential developments, environmental impacts, and cost, then applied that research to all the design alternatives under consideration. That work has resulted in the selection of a preferred alternative – and preferred roadway alignment – to move forward in the state’s highway project process.
