Craft Bazaars, Morning 5Ks, and Weekend Events Ahead
Radcliff, KY · August 8, 2026
Muggy air hangs over the neighborhoods early today, setting the stage for a full Saturday calendar. Whether you're picking up local crafts or tackling morning errands, plenty is moving across the area.
The Lead
City public works crews are finalizing plans for a series of targeted stormwater drainage upgrades across low-lying residential streets near Wilson Road. Following heavy summer rainstorms that periodically overflowed neighborhood ditches, municipal engineers conducted street-level surveys to identify key bottlenecks along drainage basins.
The upcoming project includes replacing aged culverts, regrading roadside swales, and clearing natural runoff channels to handle sudden downpours more effectively. Funding comes through a combination of local infrastructure allocation and state stormwater mitigation grants secured earlier this year.
Crews expect to begin preliminary utility marking next week, with heavy earth-moving equipment scheduled to arrive shortly after. Residents along affected corridors will receive door-hanger notices outlining temporary driveway access changes before excavation begins.
Local Pulse
Fire Department Opens Career Recruitment Drive Application packages for full-time firefighter and EMT positions are now available at City Hall through late August.
