The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet will host an open house for proposed changes to the I-75/I-275 interchange on Wednesday, Oct. 25, at AJ Lindeman Elementary School in Erlanger from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
“This in-person event will provide an opportunity for the public to review proposed transportation improvements, previously presented in a Virtual Open House held in January 2023, and discuss them with members of the Project Team,” said the cabinet in a press release. “Potential environmental and community impacts of these alternatives will also be shared.”
According to the cabinet, early engineering and environmental studies have led to several proposed improvements to the main I-75/I-275 interchange as well as other interchanges at I-71/75 and Turfway Road, I-71/75 and KY 236 (Donaldson Highway/ Commonwealth Avenue), I-71/75 and Buttermilk Pike and I-275 and Mineola Pike.
Proposed improvements include:
- Adding more travel lanes on mainline I-71/75 to improve traffic flow
- Providing dedicated access ramps from I-275 to I-71/75 and to KY 236 to reduce traffic weaving and improve safety
- Re-designing I-71/75 interchanges with KY 236 and Buttermilk Pike and the I-275/Mineola Pike interchange to Double-Crossover Diamond (DCD) configurations to improve traffic flow and travel safety
- Providing a new, direct connection to Turfway Road from I-71/75.
