Race track officials say traffic bound for Kentucky Speedway should flow more smoothly with the completion of an interstate ramp expansion.
Work crews added a second lane to the Interstate 71 ramp at Kentucky 35, the main road into the speedway in Gallatin County.
Speedway management had hoped the project would be completed earlier in the race season. About 50-thousand fans are expected at the track for the August 17th Belterra Casino Indy 300.
Two more highway projects are planned near the speedway.
One will widen I-71 to three lanes north of the speedway. The other will complete a new road from Exit 55 on I-71, the interchange south of the speedway, down to Markland Dam. The dam serves as a bridge to southern Indiana. Work on both projects will be completed in the next one to two years.
