Camp Ernst Road Improvements
Take an online survey to share your goals, priorities and questions about the Camp Ernst Corridor Reconstruction. The feedback we receive, along with in-depth research and surveying from our engineering firm will help shape potential designs for Camp Ernst Road.
Camp Ernst Road, from Pleasant Valley to Hathaway Road, is a busy road that carries over 8,000 vehicles every day. These include our neighbors heading home from work, teens driving to school, families heading to Central Park for a youth sports game and so many others. The current two lane highway poses safety issues and can be congested at times. Boone County has several projects planned to protect your safety and help get you where you want to go. Learn more about upcoming projects and share your questions with us.
