(A) Whenever the State Commissioner of Highways, by authority of state law, designates any streets or portions thereof including viaducts and bridges as connecting links of state or federal maintained highways or necessary feeder streets thereto and thereby undertakes the future maintenance, repair, construction or reconstruction of the streets, bridges or viaducts in the manner provided by the aforesaid statutes, the Mayor is expressly authorized, instructed and directed to enter into any and all contracts and agreements with KDOT necessary to carry out the purposes and provisions of the statutes.
(B) Should KDOT construct or reconstruct any streets in the city, the work shall be done by the Department as the agent of the city.
(C) Work done within a state-maintained right-of-way shall require review and approval by KDOT, unless otherwise exempted. A list of state-maintained roads can be found in Appendix A of this chapter. The list of roads should be used in conjunction with the State Maintained Roads Map (Map No. M-3, attached). Portions of city or privately-maintained roads sharing names with state-maintained roads, but not indicated as a state-maintained road on the State Maintained Roads Map or official records of KDOT shall not be considered or utilized as a state-maintained road. Nothing herein shall be construed as to limit the sovereignty of the Commonwealth of Kentucky over public rights-of-way.
