County and State Roads: Who to Contact and Why It Matters
Roadways across the region help connect communities , friends and families . It’s important for our health , safety , and quality of life that those roads are properly maintained , whether that’s through snow removal , construction improvements , or new roadways and interchanges . However , it’s not always easy to know who oversees each street in the County . That’s because there are five different jurisdictions that could be responsible for any given street in our transportation network:
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet ( KYTC )
Boone County Fiscal Court
City of Florence
City of Union
City of Walton
Here’s a brief overview of these entities , including how to contact them with a question or concern .
KYTC
That state highway department ( Kentucky Transportation Cabinet or KYTC ) oversees all state roads and highways . This includes major thoroughfares in our county , such as U . S . 42 and KY 18 , and expressways that span the entire state .
Every two years , KYTC releases a six - year transportation plan . This plan recommends potential transportation projects , including new road construction , bridges , interchanges , and other infrastructure projects , and funding to improve existing infrastructure .
Review the 2024 Recommended Highway Plan .
While Boone County Fiscal Court is not responsible for projects in this plan , County leadership and elected officials work closely with KTYC and state legislators to ensure our residents’ concerns and priorities are heard .
KTYC is divided into 12 districts to help manage and maintain state - owned roadways in each region .
KYTC District 6oversees state roads in Boone County and 10 other counties , including:
Bracken County
Campbell County

How Do I Know if it’s a State , County or City Road?
Generally speaking , if a street has a number ( U . S . 42 , U . S . 25 ) , it is a state route . Roads with just names are a local roadway . You can also review this
