    Forms complete loop around Lexington, with mileposts beginning at US 27, 2 mi NW of Jonesboro in Lexington, and continuing clockwise back to beginning

    19.238 mi, all Fayette

    Cities: Lexington

    Names: New Circle Rd

    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 3 separate parts that do not connect. There may have once been plans to connect them.

    The first and shortest part of KY 8 includes the road from KY 20 to I-275 near Idlewild. This mile-long road could be 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 second - by far the longest - part of KY 8 begins in northern Boone County as what newer maps label as Terrell Road. 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 296 or 298 (though the 1950 county map is too blurry to tell whether it's 296 or 298). 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 another gap, the third section 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.

    2006 - Continuing through Ludlow under this rail bridge.


    2006 - East on KY 8 on the west side of Covington. This stretch isn't right along the river but makes a semicircle south of a hilly neighborhood. The bridge over KY 8 is a road called Parkway Street.


    2006 - Continuing east through Covington. You can see I-75's Brent Spence Bridge in the background.


    2006 - West on KY 8 in that same area.


    2006 - The bridge that carries KY 8 between Covington and Newport.


    2006 - A rare shot of the aforementioned bridge from along the Licking River.

    Spur KY 8 includes the Carl Perkins Memorial Bridge, which opened in 1988, all the way to the north end of the span, which is over Ohio land. Used to be Spur KY 10 before 1994, when this part of KY 10 became KY 8. It is reportedly also Truck US 23, though this is not a state-issued designation.

    Known as the John Y. Brown Jr. Alexandria-Ashland (AA) Highway from the beginning to I-275 in Wilder

    Begin: KY 1, .2 mi N of Grayson city line

  • Central Av (12th St, Newport-end)

    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-'90s 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?)

    2007 - Continuing east on the AA near Vanceburg.

    2008 - Looking north on KY 9 in Wilder, approaching KY 2345.


    2006 - KY 9 at the end of KY 2345 in Wilder, north of where the AA ends. Someone got a good laugh by turning around the KY 9 & 2345 signs to point KY 9 traffic through the guardrail.


    2006 - Continuing north on KY 9 through Wilder.

    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.

    SPUR KY 10 - Greenup 1994 - The Carl Perkins Memorial Bridge. Spur KY 10 of 1988-94 became Spur KY 8 in the '94 renumbering.




    2007 - Hopping onto the KY 10 bridge at Greenup Dam, going from Ohio into Kentucky.


    2007 - Coming off the Greenup Dam bridge. The junction sign is meaningless, because we're already on KY 10.

    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.




    2007 - This abandoned bridge approach is part of the pre-1980s KY 17 that straddles the far south side of Covington and Fort Wright.


    2007 - This is also along that old stretch of KY 17. Some maps label this is as an unincorporated place called Maurice Station.


    2007 - Another shot of the old part of KY 17. That rail overpass dates from the 1910s.


    2007 - Yet another photo of old KY 17. Much of what is shown here is actually part of the current KY 3148. The unsigned KY 3148 designation ends at the entrance to a state highway garage that is either one of the buildings on the left side of the road or another building behind those structures.


    2007 - This is the current KY 17 that replaces the old KY 17 shown in the previous 4 photos. Quite a change, huh?


    2006 - North on KY 17 along the Covington/Fort Wright border. The woods at right are threatened by development.


    2006 - South on KY 17 in that same area, facing the junction with KY 3070. This scene too is endangered.

KY 18 ends at Turfway Road, opposite Curtis Avenue, which is where some idiot ran a red light and almost hit me, causing her to flail her arms like it was my fault. 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."

    I was on KY 40 in Martin County once back in 2000 to hunt down some fascist who kept sending me harassing e-mail. KY 40 ends at a bridge to Miss Piggy, I mean Kermit, WV.

    BIZ KY 40 - Johnson 1996 - Became KY 40 in Paintsville (a rare instance of a business loop becoming the mainline). Also, part of US 460 and Biz US 23 became KY 40. What had been part of KY 40 became KY 2333 and 1428.

    Remember back in the '80s when they had those radio ads where they'd sing, "Man-O-War...In your mailbox..."? Well, around that time, KY 50 was Man-O-War Boulevard in Lexington. This is an important road - of rather recent vintage - that forms a semicircle for 15 miles on Lexington's south side. The east end of this road is now KY 1425.

    US 421 from Frankfort to Lexington was known as KY 50 until the 1940s.

    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 two separate dead ends. A USGS topo map from the 1980s marks a ford at the river, but I wouldn't be sure of this.

    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.

    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.

    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 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."

    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 from Mayfield to 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.

    Lake Cumberland reams a massive Bazooka hole through KY 92, which has no bridge crossing the lake. The 2 sections of KY 92 used to be connected by a ferry at the Cumberland River, before the lake was formed. The western KY 92 does cross a small causeway and ends on a small island in the lake where it goes around a parking lot.

    KY 114 is the shortest and most highly acclaimed route from Salyersville to Prestonsburg - picking up near where the Bert T. Combs Mountain Parkway leaves off.

    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.)
