The massive, multi-phase highway construction project known as the Mountain Parkway Expansion (MPE) is moving closer to completion, as crews mark yet another milestone. Work has begun on the final and longest segment, which will connect Salyersville to Prestonsburg, Ky. “Breaking ground on Magoffin-Floyd is a historic moment,” said Aric Skaggs, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) project manager. “This marks the start of the last chapter in completing the 45-mile, transformational eastern Kentucky infrastructure project. “Gov. Andy Beshear, who has made the Mountain Parkway a top priority of his administration, hosted the groundbreaking ceremony in August. More than 100 people attended the historic event, including federal, state and local officials.”
