Title: Hello Everyone from Central Kentucky.
Post by: XamotCGC on June 30, 2021, 02:42:01 AM
Hello Everyone from Kentucky,
I'm a road geek that enjoys road maps (old and new), road trips, looking at old pictures of highways, and building models of cities and highways using legos and hot wheels.  I also enjoy playing SimCity 4.  The Bluegrass Parkway and I 65 are my favorite highways in Kentucky.


With the ongoing widening of the KY 55/US 68 in my area, as the part of the Heartland Parkway Project.  I'm currently doing research finding information on past history of major road projects done in my area.

Have you tried Cities: Skylines? Or are you more of just an old-school fan? Either way, we do have a thread about it here. (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=15010.0)

Welcome from Colorado.

Where on the US68-KY55 corridor are you located? My former mother-in-law lives near Campbellsville at the south end of the multiplex.

My understanding of that project is that they are making sections of it a "2+1" configuration, similar to what was done on KY 90 in eastern Wayne County, a few years back. Adding passing lanes but not necessarily on the hills. IIRC there are already long passing lanes on the uphill sections near the Marion-Taylor county line.
