No one played except Jim Holland who got a few right.


1. What is the US highway route number which serves as the name of a street from a point just outside, or northeast, of the Watterson Expressway?

US42

2. What is the Kentucky highway route number for this street which begins with a "real" name in the Highlands area but changes names to a three-digit highway route for its final two miles in the county?

KY155

3. What is the single streetname which is applied to roads carrying a US highway designation, a two-digit Kentucky highway designation, and a four-digit Kentucky highway designation, although no two at the same time, and for a while has no highway route designation at all, but did at one time?

BROWNSBORO ROAD, which is US42 from near the Watterson back toward downtown, KY22 from Seminary Drive eastward to Ballardsville Road, KY1694 north of Ballardsville Road (which is KY22 at that point), and nothing at all between Holiday Manor and Seminary Drive (but was KY22 before Seminary Drive was constructed).

The rest are "Identify the Intersection" questions. I will give you two highway routes - you tell me the streets forming their intersection.

Trick Questions

19. Which is higher - US 31 or KY 3077 ? Regular readers of the blog and/or my Facebook page should at least get part of this answer.
20. Where is US 31 and/or KY 3077 ? Regular readers of the blog and/or my Facebook page should at least get part of this answer.

US31 is the Clark Memorial Bridge. KY3077 is River Road below I-64. Therefore, US31 is higher as it runs "over" River Road at 2nd Street.
