Taylor County Judge Executive Barry Smith, in an appearance on the Big Dawg Wednesday, March 13, 2019, announced that work will begin soon on Highway 55 North, Columbia Road, in Taylor County. Transportation officials are expected to add another lane, making it a two-plus-one road as was completed in Adair County two years ago. This would be one more phase of the Heartland Parkway road project. No exact start date has been given but Smith said it will be soon. - LJS

The Heartland Parkway, which will be a major connector of the LBN/Cumberland Parkway in Columbia with the Bluegrass Parkway north of Springfield, KY, has been in the works for over a decade.

Snake Creek Road remains closed to through traffic

2019-03-13 - Adair County, KY - Photo from the office of Adair County Judge Executive
This picture was taken at 11:30amCT Wednesday, March 13, 2019 showing that water is still covering the bridge over Snake Creek. Adair County Judge Executive Gale Cowan reminds Adair Countians that Snake Creek Road is closed to through traffic due to water remaining high, covering the Snake Creek Road Bridge. Signs have been posted on multiple occasions and are being taken down repeatedly. I am asking that people please leave the barricade signs in place for the protection and safety of our citizens. This is not only causing a danger to our citizens, but also costing the tax payers of Adair County in overtime pay when our road department is being called out all hours of the night to put the signs back up. The Public will be notified as soon as the bridge is safe to cross.
