Gov. Andy Beshear joined the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) and state and local officials to ceremonially break ground on a new state office building in Manchester for the eight-county highway District 11. The District 11 office is headquartered in Manchester, and staff oversee state highway construction and maintenance for Bell, Clay, Harlan, Jackson, Knox, Laurel, Leslie and Whitley counties. The new state-of-the art office building will replace the current, more-than-50-year-old office building, which originally opened in 1969. Trace Creek Construction was awarded an over $11 million contract to complete the project. Crews have mobilized to the site and construction is expected to begin this month, with an estimated completion date of early 2026.
