FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky lawmakers have resumed debating whether to reopen a road through the heart of the Bluegrass State’s Capitol complex. The Senate Transportation Committee on Wednesday advanced a bill meant to resume vehicle traffic between the Kentucky Capitol and the Capitol Annex. The measure is the latest attempt to reopen the road. That section of road was closed in 2021 in response to security recommendations from state and federal authorities. At the time, Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear referred to the action as a preemptive step to improve security. But the decision has drawn pushback from a number of Republican lawmakers.
