I hosted a meet in 2005 that featured this highway in Kentucky. Portions of it were still under construction at the time. I later got to drive on an as-yet unopened portion of the road when I attended a dedication ceremony for one of the bridges along the highway.

For that meet, I made a handout showing the dates each section opened, and the expected completion dates for the segments under construction. Wish I still had it. Completion of the route cut the travel time between Pikeville and Belfry/South Williamson from an hour to 30 minutes.

West Virginia got its final sections (the bypass of Logan, and the segment from the US 52 intersection to the state line) finished before Kentucky got its portion done. Once the entire route was complete, it changed some commerce patterns for Pikeville. Instead of going to Lexington (and to a lesser extent, Kingsport), people started going to Charleston for shopping and entertainment.

I had a meet scheduled for the New River Gorge and Beckley area (the bridge, the East Beckley bypass and the Coalfields Expressway) a few years ago but had to cancel it because of health issues. I think several people who had already planned to attend made the trip and used the meet tour notes I'd developed to do their own leaderless meet.
