I just found that KY 79 southern terminus is essentially where US 79's northern terminus at Russellville, KY. KY 79 runs north through Morgantown, Caneyville, and Brandenburg before crossing the Ohio River, where it becomes IN 135. This sign assembly also makes it all the more interesting. I wonder if KYTC was suggesting that KY 79 be a continuation of US 79?

Unless something's changed. US 79 and KY 79 do not intersect.
Currently, US 79's northern terminus is at the southwestern end of the Russellville bypass, at US 431. If you are coming north on US 79, at the bypass you can turn left onto US 431 north or go straight on US 431 south. Formerly, there was a wrong-way concurrency of US 79 north and US 431 south, then US 431 turned right and US 79 continued straight, to end at Business US 68 near the intersection with KY 100.
KY 79's southern terminus is at Business US 431 north of the downtown Russellville area and north of Business US 68. See map at http://transportation.ky.gov/Planning/SPRS%20Maps/Russellville_city.pdf
US 79 and KY 79 never intersected, although there used to be a sign assembly that indicated otherwise. It was located at South Main and East 9th.

I am trying to find out how many miles is US 60 in Kentucky. Wikipedia and other pages google brings up, does not say. I was wondering if anyone every calculated it, as its run along with I-64 east of Louisville is almost 200 miles, so I figure its alignment west of Louisville is more than 200 miles and overall must be near 500 miles, I would guess.
Also, is US 60 Kentucky's longest continuous route, or is KY 80 hold that title?
Any information would be helpful. Either own information or a website that does log mileages in each state for US routes.

I don't know if there is a page on KYTC's site that has total route mileage or not, but it would be possible to calculate the total mileage using the SPRS listings available on the "Maps" page. You'd have to call up the SPRS listing for each county the route runs through and do the math, but that's one way to get the information.

But that wouldn't include overlaps with lower-numbered routes, would it? (Not that there's much of that on US 60.)
Really, the easiest way is the Goog (487 miles): http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=US-51+S%2FUS-60+E%2FUS-62+E%2FGreat+River+Rd&daddr=37.0775198,-88.955916+to:37.5852558,-87.9670544+to:37.7610299,-87.1615182+to:37.7747441,-87.079828+to:38.2089609,-85.7982739+to:38.2328714,-85.7912156+to:38.2582474,-85.7840229+to:38.2549458,-85.754376+to:38.2539574,-85.7249068+to:38.2025117,-84.8494669+to:38.147204,-84.7954469+to:37.9956589,-84.175814+to:38.028788,-84.0598079+to:38.4388232,-82.6821852+to:38.4820953,-82.6447225+to:35th+St%2FCs-1027&hl=en&ll=38.407464,-82.590923&spn=0.122679,0.264187&sll=38.472507,-82.634912&sspn=0.030642,0.066047&geocode=Fa1wNAIdv7Kv-g%3BFQ_CNQId9KOy-imNTg5tNe55iDEcpQuub3nbUA%3BFWeBPQIdsrrB-imxYHcHrGlwiDFv6L60hIjEgw%3BFQUwQAIdUgXO-ikLIGMo6LlviDFgaewdoAspGA%3BFZhlQAIdbETP-ik_9-RbCrBviDHUaIKf5Rarrw%3BFcAFRwIdf9Li-iljcGiU-hJpiDET9r0ZkqETHA%3BFSdjRwIdEe7i-im9_nbEyBJpiDFnLWPNv_5mlQ%3BFUfGRwIdKgrj-ilbvWgYQW1piDH0AQdqJSu28w%3BFWG5RwId-H3j-imlZgZxu3JpiDFCsE4zq_LPwA%3BFYW1RwIdFvHj-inlkxdbJ3NpiDFhFBv0SheSOA%3BFY_sRgIdxkzx-im1dqJsU3NCiDHu_bWfnBfwCA%3BFYQURgIdyh_y-ikHOkzAQnJCiDGIt5AJZ_-7AA%3BFYrEQwIdOpT7-iktoMAlBa5DiDH42n-KRxhDWg%3BFfRFRAIdYVn9-ilLoEfb4rpDiDEG5n13kbdVtA%3BFaeHSgIdt14S-yk3fqGBMXZGiDE0c_ofjx8HAw%3BFa8wSwIdDvES-ykjHR4PIXRGiDGg2RM-RVS2Sg%3BFbQBSgIdk68T-w&gl=us&dirflg=h&mra=dpe&mrsp=15&sz=15&via=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15&t=m&z=13
This jibes well with the 487.2 miles I get when combining the OSM ways in JOSM.
