New Medical Connector Road Planned Off Centennial Avenue
Radcliff, KY · September 26, 2026
Kicking back with a second cup of coffee is the right first move this morning, especially before craft booths and autumn festivities get moving across town by nine.
The Lead
The City of Radcliff is moving forward with plans to construct a dedicated connector roadway off Centennial Avenue adjacent to the Baptist Health Hardin medical campus. With recorded easements now finalized and municipal funds of up to $175,000 committed through recent budget adjustments, the project aims to improve emergency vehicle access and smooth neighborhood traffic flowing between Lincoln Trail Boulevard and nearby care facilities.
The new link will relieve pressure along the busy commercial Dixie Highway spine, providing an unobstructed secondary route for first responders heading toward regional urgent care and diagnostic units. Public-works crews and design engineers are wrapping up utility staking before contractors begin grading the corridor next month.

Spotlight & Story
- Pearman Avenue
