There are nine divisions organized under the State Highway Engineer's Office.
The Division of Construction supervises highway construction projects, providing administrative support for central office and district construction projects. It also assists the Division of Materials staff in sampling and testing materials used in construction projects.
Ine Division of Materials establishes standards and controls relating to the quality of materials for the construction, maintenance, and operation of highways and bridges. The Division also develops, coordinates, and controls testing procedures that are conducted in the field.
The Division of Structural Design develops and prepares contract plans for all highway structures, as well as any special structures that the Transportation Cabinet builds as part of Kentucky's system of roads. The Division also designs and prepares plans for structural repair and rehabilitation of existing bridges, as well as the design of all overhead sign structures.
The Division of Highway Design, in conjunction with the district design offices, is responsible for the required design activities of the Cabinet's Six-Year Road Plan projects, including the preparation, assembly, and reproduction of construction plans for a project's award.
The Division of Environmental Analysis provides all environmental studies and documents required by federal agencies for federal-aid transportation projects and for state funded projects that require federal permits. The division ensures compliance with all federal laws and regulations.
The Division of Right-of-Way and Utilities acquires property required for the construction and reconstruction of highways. This function involves obtaining title reports, performing appraisals and appraisal reviews, conducting negotiations, providing relocation assistance, facilitating property management, and initiating condemnation procedures on properties affected by proposed projects.
The Division of Program Management is responsible for developing Kentucky's Biennial Six-Year Road Plan.
The Division of Planning provides the day-to-day administration and support for personnel involved in the Highway Planning program activities, including management, clerical support, training, and other overhead expenditures.
The Division of Professional Services is responsible for procuring the Cabinet's professional services relating to road contracts. This division advertises for engineering services, administers the pre-qualification process for consulting services, provides assistance to selection committees for contract awards, negotiates fees for consulting work sought by the Cabinet, and routinely confers with the Finance and Administration Cabinet and the Legislative Research Commission with respect to contract awards.
