Companion surface roads: bypasses Lexington

KY 4 was built in stages from the early 1950s to 1967 and forms a complete loop encircling Lexington. This 4-lane divided highway is a freeway except on the east side from KY 922 on the north to US 25 on the south. Although all U.S. routes through Lexington were to be rerouted onto KY 4 and out of the central city, this plan was canceled. The reason for the proposed rerouting was so the city could be responsible for one-way routings and other traffic patterns. (Some maps had shown bypass or even mainline U.S. routes using KY 4 years before this proposal.)

The old KY 4 in Pike County from Millard to the Virginia state line became part of US 460.

Old: KY 10 (KY 3037, Vanceburg-end)

KY 8 mostly follows the Ohio River in Northern Kentucky or runs along the streets of various river towns. KY 8 has 2 separate parts that do not connect. Until 2009, it had 3 parts. There may have once been plans to connect them.

What was the first and shortest part of KY 8 became KY 3608 in 2009. It included the road from KY 20 to I-275 near Idlewild. This mile-long road could have been an extension of KY 338, unless the number 338 is sacred or something. Contrary to what some maps show, there is no road running north from I-275 to connect this with the next section of KY 8.

The longer of the 2 remaining parts of KY 8 begins in northern Boone County. Terrell Road continues unnumbered from here in this secluded area and trails off into a dead end. It's an eerie feeling to go to the junction with KY 237 and see a full-fledged highway, complete with KY 8 markers, marked with a NO OUTLET sign. KY 8 from the start of the second section to the current KY 20 was once KY 298 (according to old highway plans). From the beginning of the second section, KY 8 runs along the river to Ludlow and then into Covington. Up until about 1956, KY 20 used what is now KY 8 from KY 20's present end to downtown Covington. KY 8 continues through the cities across from Cincinnati and through a seemingly rural area along the river, although this is within the city of Fort Thomas. (KY 8 does not actually enter the town of California, as the town is a few blocks from KY 8.) The road runs along the river to Maysville.

Much of the Francisville-Maysville KY 8 is signed with fluorescent green bike warning signs, despite less-than-ideal conditions for bicyclists. Traffic in some rural areas has increased sharply in recent years, and much of the road lacks shoulders. (My old bike that got stolen after 2 months malfunctioned on KY 8 in Dayton or Fort Thomas, and disaster was narrowly averted.)

Pooing is cool.

Following a gap east of Maysville, the shorter of the 2 remaining sections of KY 8 begins in Irwin and runs along the river. It used to end in Vanceburg, but now it continues along what used to be part of KY 10 until 1994.

End: KY 8 & Central Av, Newport

114.146 mi:

Uses: US 62 (Maysville)

Cities: Vanceburg, Maysville, Alexandria, Cold Spr, Wilder, Newport

Names:

KY 9 used to include only Licking Pike in Campbell County and some city streets in Newport. It has since added the AA Highway and its branch to Grayson. The AA now makes up the bulk of KY 9.

I know the AA was completed from Cold Spring to Quincy in late 1990, because my caravan of counterculture cohorts was among the first to drive on it. It was numbered KY 546 then. Built to modern standards with wide shoulders, the AA is mostly 2-lane, except in Campbell County and Maysville where it is a divided 4-lane. It even has a freeway-style interchange at US 27 (numbered as exit 14, a lonely numbered exit). The AA Highway does have a high accident rate and seems to be prone to fog. The branch from Vanceburg to Grayson began in the mid-1990s as KY 694 - but in 1994 (apparently before completion of the Grayson branch) the KY 9 designation was extended along the AA from Wilder to Grayson, while most of the former KY 9 south of the AA became KY 915.

Newport leaders have threatened to design a new KY 9 along the Licking River to KY 8, which would wipe out that neighborhood's industrial charm (though what is thought to be the last yellow stop sign in Northern Kentucky was eliminated in 2005 or 2006).

The Licking Pike stretch of KY 9 was one of the area's first state routes, shown on maps by 1930. (Was this a continuation of OH 9, the present-day US 127? And since US 27 in Northern Kentucky was US 25E in the 1920s, did KY 9 continue south to US 25W in Tennessee, which is also TN 9?)

Major bridges:

Much of KY 10 was built in the 1920s. It once ran concurrent with US 27 from Newport to Alexandria - and well into the 1990s, many maps still showed KY 10 along that route, although KY 10 was in fact removed from US 27 so long ago that I don't even remember it. Through much of recent history KY 10 has begun at what is now KY 915, although from 1984-96 it continued past there and along what is now KY 536 to Visalia using the Al Schneider Bridge. Until 1982 it ran along the present KY 3056 to Maysville.

The Grays Branch leg of the AA Highway was added to KY 10 in 1994, causing the old KY 10 to be renumbered KY 8. This part of KY 10 crosses Greenup Dam to Ohio.

It was reported that, in addition to running from Newport to near Ashland, a 1929 map also showed KY 10 using what is now US 42 from Louisville to Covington. Most of KY 10 was gravel back then, and some of it was a dirt road.

Kenton 1996 - Left Kenton County when KY 536 was extended to Campbell County.

KY 10C - Lewis 1994 - KY 10C of 1988-94 became KY 8C in the great AA Highway renumbering.

Major bridges: John A Roebling Suspension Br (Ohio River, Covington)

What?! A Kentucky state route in Ohio?! Yes indeedy, my friends, KY 17 uses the historic Roebling Suspension Bridge to Cincinnati. A 1950 topo map marks this as 3 Kentucky state routes, KY 16/17/177, in addition to US 25/42 (even though the C&O Bridge is also shown as US 25/42). (KY 16 now ends at a treacherous 5-way junction with KY 17, and KY 177 ends at a similar 5-way intersection with KY 16.) Kentucky maintenance of the Suspension Bridge ends about where it crosses over Mehring Way, although the approach continues to Theodore M. Berry Way. It wasn't long ago that the span led inside a downtown building: Dixie Terminal, then the epicenter of TANK, Northern Kentucky's ever-deteriorating bus system. I have fond memories of skipping school on Wednesdays in 12th grade and terrorizing Dixie Terminal.

Also, a few Truck KY 17 signs can be spotted on Covington's Madison Avenue, though this is not a state designation. Mainline KY 17 along Greenup or Scott has some clearances that are too low for some trucks. One of these low clearances once sheared the top off a milk truck.

In 2007 the state bowed to the demands of an upscale Covington neighborhood by rerouting KY 17 onto different streets: Northbound used to run on Sterrett, Scott, Wallace, and Greenup; southbound ran on Scott, Wallace, and Madison. North and south nearly crossed at a traffic island at Wallace & Scott. This part of KY 17 was rerouted onto 20th.

A USGS topo map from the 1980s says KY 17 does not enter Kenton Vale, as Kenton Vale's boundaries stop just short of the roadway. This may have changed due to KY 17's widening.

KY 18 had been rerouted to this point and away from the old part of Florence in 1986.

Although KY 18 is not a freeway, Northern Kentucky's first SPUI is planned at the junction with KY 237. A transportation official called the proposed interchange "cool."

KY 56 is unusual because - even though it's a Kentucky state route - it actually begins in Illinois, using an Ohio River bridge to Kentucky. Also, the bridge at the Green River was marked as toll on an official county map as of 1999. Doesn't that just spoil your day? However it's no longer toll. I think KY 56 is the road that had wet grass all over it during my 2002 trip to the Western U.S. (the same trip where iced tea got dumped in a Coke dispenser at Wall Drug).

What would be a much more useful road is r00ined by the lack of a crossing at the Licking River - making KY 57 into 2 separate dead ends. A USGS topo map from the 1980s marks a ford at the river, but I wouldn't count on this - at all.

58

Begin: dead end (Mississippi River), .4 mi NW of Columbus city line
End: US 68, .2 mi SE of Briensburg

46.826 mi:

Uses:

Cities: Columbus, Clinton, Mayfield, Benton

Names:

The part of KY 58 that continued to the Big Bear Creek area off Kentucky Lake was dropped as a state route in 1997. Also, it is not clear whether there is still a ferry to carry KY 58 across the Mississippi River to Missouri - effectively continuing KY 80 (which ends nearby) as MO 80 - though an older map shows a toll ferry.

59

Begin: KY 2, .8 mi NW of Armstrong Hill
End: KY 8 & 2525, Vanceburg

26.039 mi:

Cities: Vanceburg

Names: Fairlane Rd (Carter Co)

A great road that deserves sheer praise for its element of adventure. The only time I remember being on KY 59 was well after dark one night, when oncoming cars seemed to pop out of nowhere from behind the many blind curves.

Names:

Major bridges: Cumberland River, Cumberland Co

KY 61 is one of the longest Kentucky state routes but is noteworthy for a short stretch of interesting urban engineering in Louisville, as it has a one-way couplet that merges with I-65 for about a block (passing over a rail line in the process).

14.219 mi:

Cities: Wurtland

Names: Industrial Pkwy

The old KY 67, which ran north from Bowling Green, is now KY 185, and theories abound as to why it was renumbered - the most likely one being that I-24 may have been proposed as I-67 and stole its number. Around 2000, KY 67 was reborn as the new Industrial Parkway outside Ashland. KY 67 opened little by little until its completion in 2003.

Names:

Major bridges: Bob Cummings-Lincoln Trail Br (Ohio River, Hawesville)

An oddity of KY 69 is that it exists in Indiana, as it uses the Bob Cummings-Lincoln Trail Bridge for several blocks into that state. The toll on this bridge was abolished in the late 1990s.

Names:

What would otherwise be one of the longest Kentucky state routes is split twice - once by the Cumberland River with no crossing and again by Mammoth Cave National Park, where KY 70 is linked by a stretch that is unnumbered because it's not under state jurisdiction. One mapping program shows a ferry at the Cumberland River to fill that gap in KY 70, but there probably hasn't been a ferry there in many years. (Two of the 3 separate parts of KY 70 are over 100 miles.) KY 70, from the Taylor County Line via Creston to the junction with US 127. From another junction with US 127, via Yosemite and Bethel Ridge to the Pulaski County Line, a distance of 32.650 miles. (MP 0.000 to MP 14.195)(MP 14.195 to MP 32.650)

KY 79 used to be KY 105. It begins close to where US 79 leaves off. KY 79 ends as it feeds into the Matthew E. Welsh Bridge, a toll span over the Ohio River to Indiana. The bridge is not officially part of KY 79, as it is not maintained by Kentucky, and it becomes IN 135. Matthew Welsh was a governor of Indiana who - I swear I'm not making this up - is best known for complaining that the lyrics to "Louie Louie" made his "ears tingle."

Major bridges:

We'd like to say KY 80 is over 460 miles long.

But over half of that is concurrent with a U.S. route or a higher-ranked state route - and most of that is part of a 150-mile multiplex with US 68 - so KY 80 carries no official mileage on those stretches. Furthermore, KY 80 has been split into 2 separate parts since 2003. The absence of KY 80 between Mayfield and Murray results from the KY 80 designation being relocated southward and assigned to a new road from Murray to Aurora. This gap can be filled using mostly KY 121.

Even so, the second segment of KY 80, which is officially almost 200 miles, is the longest Kentucky state route (not counting U.S. and Interstate routes). In all, the 2 segments of KY 80 are officially shorter than the 3 segments of KY 70, however.

Rockcastle 1982 - KY 80 was ousted from Rockcastle County when it was moved to a new road, making the old road KY 1956.

Clark/Powell/Wolfe/Morgan/Magoffin 1985 - KY 114 used to actually include the Bert - which was renumbered KY 114 from "secret" KY 9000 and 9009 in 1985, then renumbered KY 402 some 4 months later (reverting to KY 9000 and 9009 in 1990). Both the Bert and the present KY 114 (despite being a surface road) were reportedly signed as both routes concurrently all the way to Prestonsburg. (However, I don't remember seeing the Bert signed as KY 114 or 402.)

KY 137 runs north along the Ohio River in Livingston County before ending at one of the more pointless discontinuities that plague Kentucky state routes.

Names:

KY 177, much of which runs along the west bank of the Licking River, is perhaps most valued because of the time we kept tossing wooden boards out the car window after I had demolished an old playhouse in my back yard. Hey, that was 1985, so it's not like the statute of limitations is still going. (The site of the playhouse's burial is near where that church where the Brossart "retoolings" took place, where the toilet got clogged with a Mello Yello can and where we put pennies on the railroad track to see if we could derail trains.) For 2 months in 1997, the part of KY 177 in Covington was taken back by the city in a spat over truck traffic - accounting for the word "TO" above the KY 177 signs.

In the olden days, KY 177 did run a bit past its current north end. My best guess from an official map is that it piggybacked on KY 16 on Rogers Street, then went west on 34th, south on Eugenia, west on 35th, and along Latonia Avenue to KY 17.

How can they fit 73 miles of KY 194 into one county? Well, Pike County has some very challenging terrain, and KY 194 doesn't even take the most direct route. As if that wasn't enough, there appear to be no incorporated places along all 85 miles of KY 194, since the city of Phelps disbanded. (In Phelps it uses Blackburn Street.) The only other route in Kentucky that I know of that carries more than 40 miles in one county is KY 80 in Pulaski County.

Names:

The part of KY 236 called Donaldson Road - named for a highway commissioner and candidate for governor - wasn't even built until 1943, when it was constructed as the main road to the Boone County Airport (now the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport). This was KY 442 until at least 1950. A small part of the original route now sits abandoned because of the airport's expansion, and much of the original road is completely obliterated.

Names:

KY 237 used to include Limaburg Road too, but a modern divided highway replaced that stretch in 1981. Gunpowder Road was added to KY 237 in 2005.

In 2009, work was scheduled to begin on widening parts of KY 237 to 5 or 7 lanes, despite the fact that the public (in the interest of preservation) only wanted 3 lanes. This project will cost about 25 families their homes. Maddeningly, most of these are historic houses and had to be demolished for a project designed to handle traffic for newer, wealthier subdivisions. Money talks, I guess. Perhaps the only positive aspect of this project was the planned inclusion of a bike path. (Cincinnati Enquirer 9/24/2006)

Tunnels:

I always knew this would be an interesting one. Part of KY 244 runs through an undeveloped area along the Ohio River. Between Worthington and Raceland, KY 244 uses what amounts to 2 tunnels under the rail yard. CSX Railroad maintains these tunnels - except the state is responsible for surface maintenance. Both tunnels are very narrow. The longer one is one lane, and there is no signal to control head-on traffic. It is also very dark even in the daytime. The shorter tunnel may be 2 lanes, but only barely.

KY 251 used to run straight through the grounds of Fort Knox Military Reservation. According to later maps, the roads used by KY 251 through Fort Knox still exist, mostly as gravel.

KY 251 also included College Street and South Miles Street in Elizabethtown pre-1987.

Most of KY 313 was brand spanking new in 1996, linking I-65 with Radcliff. A right-of-way through Fort Knox had to be transferred from the feds to build KY 313. It appears that an early section of KY 313 was certified in 1989 and that KY 313 was redefined to reflect the newest stretch in 1998.

After being closed for 15 years, this stretch appeared to finally be abandoned for good in 2003, permanently making KY 320 a dead end near Lock #1 along the river.

KY 353 is part of a shortcut from Lexington to Cynthiana and is also famous as the former site of Lexington's WLAP radio - home of the LAP bunker blast. (Just kidding about the bunker blast part.) WLAP fell victim to the radio industry's mind-boggling decline of the 1990s. Back in the days when Power 94½ used to be good, they had a tower and a nice little brown building (with the Power Van often parked out front) along KY 353 in a rural area of northern Fayette County.

Names:

The bulk of KY 445 is River Road, linking KY 8 with most of Fort Thomas. I feared River Road as a child because it crossed a heavily wooded area, but the road is actually much less forbidding and in better shape than similar roads in the county. For its part, Grandview is a short residential street descending the ridge from Fort Thomas Avenue to US 27.
