✨🚧 Exciting News from Mayor Lenhof! 🚧✨

As Mayor of Elsmere, I want to thank all of the residents, business owners, and community members who took the time to attend the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 6 public meetings and provide feedback regarding the proposed Dixie Highway road reconfiguration project.

Your participation mattered.

I am pleased to share that KYTC has announced that the proposed roadway reconfiguration along Dixie Highway between Turfway Road and Commonwealth Avenue will not move forward at this time. While resurfacing and pavement improvement work will continue, the reconfiguration proposal that generated significant community concern has been indefinitely paused.

This outcome demonstrates the importance of public engagement. Whether you attended meetings, submitted comments, spoke with elected officials, or simply stayed informed, your voices were heard.

Thank you for your continued involvement in shaping the future of our community. I encourage everyone to remain engaged as transportation projects and other initiatives continue to impact Elsmere and our region.

— Mayor Marty Lenhof

👷 Resurfacing Project Resumes on Portion of Dixie Highway (U.S. 25) in Boone and Kenton Counties 👷

Resurfacing work along portions of Dixie Highway will resume this summer as part of a pavement improvement project for various routes.

Work on U.S. 42 from east of Ewing Boulevard, and on Dixie Highway north of Marian Drive has already been completed. Resurfacing will take place on Dixie Highway from north of Dortha Avenue to the Boone/Kenton County line and the Boone/Kenton County line to north of Hallam Avenue.

While pavement improvements are moving forward, a previously planned roadway reconfiguration from Turfway Road (KY 1017) to northeast of Commonwealth Avenue will not be done at this time.

Several preliminary tasks have already been completed ahead of resurfacing, including drainage repairs, base failure repairs and sidewalk ramp improvements. Traffic impacts and an updated completion date will be announced once paving operations are scheduled.
