Stormwater/Roadway Projects Update "City Engineer Rick Murphy updated the Paducah Board of Commissioners on prominent stormwater/roadway improvement projects that are underway in Paducah by showing before and during construction pictures. All of these projects are scheduled to be completed by the end of this year. . Roadways — Several roads are being improved with new pavement and the addition of curbs and gutters including sections of South 6c` Street, Caldwell Street, Husbands Street, 22nd November 15, 2022 Street near Elmwood Court, Brooks Stadium Drive, and South 25a` Street. South 25t` Street also includes the addition of sidewalks. Buckner Lane Bridge and Crooked Creek Mitigation Project — This project began in late May.

This project also includes the installation of a larger box culvert under Oakcrest Drive near the intersection with Buckner Lane. This project will improve stormwater conditions in the area by reducing the number of times Crooked Creek comes out of its banks due to severe storm events.

The last phase of the project will be improving the Buckner Lane roadway by increasing the lane widths, adding four -foot wide shoulders, and paving."
