Intersection Safety Improvement Project on US68 in Metcalfe Co. From Wes Watt An intersection safety improvement project is expected to begin on U.S. 68 in Metcalfe County. The intersection of U.S. 68 and KY 70 will be reconstructed to a new alignment just to the east of the current intersection. Crews will be working off the roadway in the first phase of the project, but lane closures in the area are possible. Signs and message boards have been installed to inform motorists of the construction. The new alignment will feature safer approaches with better sight distance. The new alignment will be a straighter approach compared to the current curved approaches. The project is expected to be completed in the winter of 2026. Scotty's Contracting & Stone LLC was awarded the contract in the amount of $2.8 million on September 3, 2025. 2025-11-03 12:39:29 | Comments | Printable version

Lindsey Wilson University to Build Indoor Golf Center Jessica Smith Golf Center -- Donated by Earl & Marlene Smith to honor late golfer who was a Lindsey Wilson All-American, all-stater at Assumption High School. By Duane Bonifer Lindsey Wilson University has one of the top golf programs in the NAIA, and pretty soon it will have one of the best indoor golf centers in the NAIA. Lindsey Wilson will build the Jessica Smith Golf Center -- Donated by Earl & Marlene Smith. The 4,200-square-foot building, which will be opened in 2026, is named in honor of the late women's golfer Jessica Smith. A 2010 Lindsey Wilson graduate and a member of the Lindsey Wilson Athletics Hall of Fame, Smith died in a 2016 car crash at the age of 28. The building is made possible by a gift from Smith's parents, Earl and Marlene Smith of Louisville, Kentucky. "We wanted to honor Jessica," said Earl Smith. "She enjoyed her time at Lindsey Wilson so much, as a student and as a member of the golf team. She loved being on the team. Probably the most important thing is that she grew so much while at Lindsey Wilson." The Smith Golf Center will be one of the few indoor golf practice centers in the NAIA, according to Lindsey Wilson Athletic Director Willis Pooler.
