Building Connections: Palmer Engineering’s Role in the Mountain Parkway Expansion
Palmer Engineering is proud to serve as the design partner for Bizzack Construction on the Magoffin-Floyd segment — the final link in the Mountain Parkway Expansion.
This 13-mile stretch of new four-lane highway will connect Salyersville in Magoffin County to Prestonsburg in Floyd County. The segment is the last of six project segments to go to construction on the 45-mile, billion-dollar Mountain Parkway Expansion. The project is delivering a decades-long promise to complete the parkway and close the only remaining gap in a continuous, four-lane, high-speed corridor linking Eastern Kentucky to the rest of the commonwealth.
It is the longest of all the project segments and the only segment that is constructing all new roadway. Construction will include design elements aimed at improving safety, reducing congestion and supporting efficient traffic flow:
13 miles of new four-lane highway
Multiple new bridge structures over waterways and existing roads
A modern roundabout at the eastern terminus in Prestonsburg
An estimated 30 million cubic yards of excavation
From innovative roadway design to multiple bridges and a new roundabout in Prestonsburg, we’re grateful to play a part in bringing this decades-long vision to life. For more information about the Mountain Park Expansion, visit the links below.
