KTYC’s project development process consists of five phases:

• Planning 

• Preliminary Engineering & Environmental Evaluation 

• Design

• Right-of-Way & Utility Coordination

• Construction

​

The I-71 Improvements project is currently in the Preliminary Engineering & Environmental Evaluation phase of this process.

 

This phase focuses on developing and evaluating possible alternatives for addressing the purpose and need for the project. Preliminary engineering is completed to better understand how proposed alternatives would need to be configured and how well they are likely to perform. Studies are also completed to determine the potential environmental, social, and economic impacts of each alternative.  

​

Public input is an important part of the project development process. The project team is seeking public input via this website. Visit our Contact Us page to learn more about how you can share your thoughts on the interchange project.

We are also seeking input from people who may be interested in historic preservation by becoming a Consulting Party. This may include affected property owners, business owners, historic preservation groups, or others who are interested in historic resources and preservation.
