One of Kentucky's deadliest highway crashes cemented the legislature's resolve to widen a rural stretch of Interstate 65 that's poised to get $100 million worth of improvements in the next two years.
A transportation budget passed during last week's special session of the 2012 general assembly sets aside the $100 million over the next two years to widen I-65 from six lanes in portions of Barren, Hardin, and Hart Counties.
The spotlight was focused on the dangers of the heavily traveled route in March 2010, when 11 people were killed in a single crash.
It was just one of a long line of heart-wrenching tragedies that have occurred there in recent years.
