The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) has released the 2026 Enacted Highway Plan, outlining more than six years of major highway improvement projects statewide for the remainder of FY 2026 and FY 2027–FY 2032. The plan is a data‑driven program using asset management, the SHIFT prioritization process, and collaboration with legislators, Area Development Districts, MPOs, and local officials to sequence bridge, pavement, safety, and mobility projects.Funding estimates exceed 9600000000 across federal and state sources, including 6400000000 in federal funds, 1400000000 in state match, 114000000 in local match, 575000000 in state funds for SPP state‑priority projects, targeted county programs, and general funds for major river‑crossing corridors. This is pre‑procurement capital programming: many individual projects have not yet been designed, bid, or awarded, creating a multi‑year pipeline for engineering, construction, program management, design, asset management tools, and grant support vendors who can help KYTC and local partners deliver and optimize the program.

All federal projects must be in the fiscally balanced Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP); KYTC intends to compete for IIJA discretionary grants and assist local governments in pursuing federal funds.
