Kentucky installing energy-saving lighting along roads

FRANKFORT, Ky. — Kentucky has launched a statewide project to replace thousands of roadway lighting fixtures with energy-saving LED lights. The upgrades will reduce energy consumption of roadway lighting systems by more than 50% and save more than $2.8 million a year in utility and maintenance costs, according to a news release from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. “Modernizing our roadway lights with more efficient and longer-lasting LEDs is a win-win strategy to stretch taxpayer dollars, improve roadway visibility and reduce the number of maintenance-related lane closures,” Kentucky’s Transportation Secretary Jim Gray said Monday in a news release. More than 18,000 lighting fixtures will be replaced with energy-efficient LED lights on some state-maintained roads across Kentucky, officials said. The project includes replacing underground lighting in the Cochrane Tunnel in Jefferson County and the Cumberland Gap Tunnel in Bell County.
