Gov. Steve Beshear speaks with Joyce Winters Claghorn of Fredonia last Wednesday at the Ed-Tech Center in Marion after a formal dedication of the new, four-lane U.S. 641. Claghorn, a Crittenden County native and sister of state Sen. Ken Winters (R-Murray), is unhappy with the possible path of the second leg of the road from Fredonia to Interstate 69 which could claim her home.
Actual work on the $18.6 million grade and drain construction phase of the first 5.2-mile leg — Marion to Fredonia — began in mid-December in Crayne.
Last week’s “ground-breaking” was simply ceremonial.
