FRANKFORT, Ky. (WMDJ) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has provided an update on the final 13-mile stretch of the Mountain Parkway, known as the Magoffin-Floyd segment.

The segment is currently under development and officials are advancing the project through a method known as design-build, in which designers and builders work hand in hand.

The project is currently funded to advance, but an overall construction timeline and completion date are dependent on additional state or federal funds.

KYTC and its partners are now collecting detailed environmental and geotechnical information from the cross-country corridor in eastern Magoffin County and Floyd County. Residents will likely see field survey, geotechnical and environmental staff in the area. Once those potential impacts are known, individual property owners will be notified.

The final stretch will be a four-lane, undivided, limited access highway that spans from U.S. 460 in Salyersville (Magoffin County) to KY 404 in Prestonsburg (Floyd County).
