US 25E Intersection with KY 233 RCUT, Knox County

The US-25E intersection with KY-233 in Knox County experienced many angle crashes despite having been recently signalized with advance warning flashing beacons. As the lone signal in a long stretch of a 55 mph divided highway, Palmer proposed a RCUT to improve the severe angle crashes. The project team selected the RCUT improvement, and construction was completed July 31, 2018. During the three-year post construction period, this intersection has experienced a 74% reduction in total crashes and 71% reduction in fatal and serious injury crashes.
