"I-65 is a really big problem. It seems like everyone is having a wreck every other week," she said.

Cars and trucks alike zoom up and down the two lane stretch of I-65 that goes through Edmonson County.

It has been the site of many accidents and deaths in the last year.

In an effort to improve the safety of the road they will soon be widened from two to three lanes.

Making the stretch of highway six lanes.

Sims says the project isn't something that can happen overnight, but stresses it's importance.

"Its a big project, its going to take a while but we might as well start on it. I mean people are losing their lives here on 65 in Horse Cave. There has been several people who have lost their lives in the last two years," she said.

Sims wishes the expansion would stop all wrecks, but she knows it will at least slow them down.

"I don't think you'll ever find a road that there's not going to be a wreck on. I wish I could say there wouldn't be but you can't guarantee it because there's a lot of trucks, but its going to help," she said.

Speaking of trucks, Dominic Zuchowski has seen his fair stretch of highways.

He has ridden shotgun in his dads big-rig for five years.

He thinks three lanes will make make the road safer.

"Well if you had three lanes, you'd have the slower truckers hanging in the middle and the fast ones have two extra lanes to pass the slower ones," he said.

Construction will start in October and should be finished by the end of spring 2011.

The expansion will cost nearly $30 million.

The funding comes from federal bonds.
