The scheduled completion of part of a project to widen KY 245 between Bardstown and Clermont has been pushed back due to delays during utility relocation: The (Bardstown) Kentucky Standard: KY 245 widening project delayed (July 7, 2004) 

A public meeting was held in Nelson County recently to discuss options for widening just over a mile of KY 245 outside of Bardstown. The widened route will provide improved service to the Flaget Memorial Hospital which is currently under construction near the route. This is the second phase of a widening project that is already underway. The current KY 245 widening project is expected to be completed this July.

Eventually, KY 245 is to be widened along the entire distance between Bardstown and I-65.
