Bill > HJR5

This joint resolution directs the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet to designate numerous roads, highways, and bridges throughout the state in honor of various individuals, including veterans, law enforcement officers, public servants, athletes, and local community members. The resolution covers 42 separate sections, each naming a specific road segment or bridge after a person or group, such as the "Deputy Sheriff Joshua Phipps Memorial Highway" in Russell County, the "Nelson County Veterans Bridge", and the "Preece Brothers WWII Veterans Memorial Highway" in Martin County. In each case, the Transportation Cabinet is instructed to erect appropriate commemorative signage within 30 days of the resolution's effective date. Additionally, the resolution includes a request for the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials to designate a new United States Highway 111 along a specific route connecting multiple Kentucky and Tennessee highways, demonstrating the legislature's commitment to honoring local heroes and potentially improving transportation infrastructure.
