Few pieces of infrastructure are more important to the health and vitality of a region than its roadways . Connecting rural areas , remote destinations and urban centers , direct and well-maintained roads promote commerce and literally bridge gaps between communities .

Route 460 Connector Phase II project is bridging a 6.2 mile gap in Buchanan County — creating a new stretch of four-lane limited access highway between Phase I of the project near the Kentucky Border and the start of the future U . S . Route 121 ( Coalfields Expressway ).
