Magoffin-Floyd
About
The Magoffin-Floyd segment is the final 13-mile section of the Mountain Parkway. It 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).
It is the longest and most ambitious of all six project segments and is the only segment that involves constructing all new roadway. Construction will include design elements aimed at improving safety, reducing congestion and supporting efficient traffic flow:
- 13 miles of new four-lane highway
- Multiple new bridge structures over waterways and existing roads
- A modern roundabout at the eastern terminus in Prestonsburg
- An estimated 30 million cubic yards of excavation
TIMELINE
- Sept. 2022: Gov. Beshear announced plans for the Magoffin-Floyd section to follow a new cross-country route instead of widening the current KY 114 corridor because it would cause fewer disruptions and property impacts to homes and businesses.
- Aug. 2023: Bizzack Construction, a Kentucky-based firm, is selected as lead contractor on the segment.
- June 2024: The preferred cross-country alignment received official environmental approval to advance toward construction from the Federal Highway Administration.
- Oct. 2024: The segment received a $116.3 million federal Multimodal Project Discretionary Grant, allowing the project to more quickly advance to construction. The project also benefited from a historic $150 million general fund commitment proposed by Gov. Beshear and backed by the Kentucky General Assembly during the 2024 legislative session to help secure the grant.
- Aug. 2025: Official groundbreaking ceremony; construction commences.
