First Phase of US 460 Pike County Reconstruction Over Half Complete
Transportation Cabinet District 12 reports that construction on the first phase of the US 460 widening project in Pike County is 53% complete. The 2.3 mile section of highway begins at US 23 and climbs to the top of a mountain to the east. This section of highway includes a set of twin bridges that carry the highway 86 feet above a mountain valley.
The entire project between US 23 and the Virginia state line is expected to take up to 12 years and cost $500 million.
