The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is hosting a public meeting Thursday on plans to widen a portion of Nashville Road in Warren County.
The section of highway is from Buchanon Park to the Simpson County line. Transportation Spokesman Wes Watt says the project will create a continuous alternating passing lane.
"It just means there will be a passing lane in each direction. They'll just rotate," explains Watt. "You may have a passing lane for three-fourths of a mile in one direction, a transition, and then the passing lane will switch to the other direction, and then it will rotate back."
The passing lane is needed due to increasing traffic between Bowling Green and Franklin, and a high number commercial trucks and slow-moving farm equipment using the highway.
The public meeting will be from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at Woodburn Baptist Church.
There is currently no timeframe for beginning and completing the project.
