This bill establishes Kentucky's official highway construction plan for the 2026 to 2028 period, outlining which road and infrastructure projects the state intends to build or improve. Because it was declared an emergency, it took effect immediately upon being signed rather than waiting for a standard effective date. Who it may affect: Kentuckians who travel state roads and highways, as well as communities near planned construction projects.
