This document constitutes a Request for Proposals for a Professional Service Contract from qualified individuals and organizations to furnish those services as described herein for the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Department of Highways. Project Manager - Ellen Gregory, P.E. User Division - Highway Design Approximate Fee - $1,000,000 Preliminary Engineering & Environmental Services (Lump Sum) Project Funding - SPP Funds (State Funds) Project Length - Approximately 3.8 miles US-25 is located west of, and parallel to the Norfolk Southern Railroad. The close proximity to the railroad creates a hazardous condition when trains are blocking the crossing to KY-491, backing up traffic and creating long delays. There is no stacking distance for vehicles waiting to travel east on KY-491 across the railroad tracks, forcing vehicles to wait on US-25, delaying the through movement due to the lack of turn lanes and the lack of sufficient storage. US-25 through this area has narrow shoulders and vertical issues, which greatly limit the sight distance. Entrances are located in a manner that limit sight distance for those entering or exiting the highway. There are numerous accidents throughout this corridor located at these cross streets and entrances. This project will provide adequate sight distance and storage areas for vehicles to safely turn onto or exit US-25.
