In a report to the mayors January 25 Campbell County Administrator Robert Horine said that the total cost estimate of the Ky. 536 extension from U.S. 27 to the AA Highway south of Alexandria has increased from $44 million to $51 million. To reduce the costs, the state is attempting a redesign of the road as two lanes with added turn lanes and deceleration lanes as needed instead of a full three-lane highway. Horine said that the project officially remains on hold until more money is allocated.
