U.S. Highway 23 in Kentucky

This page documents photos from various locations along US 23 in eastern Kentucky.  All photos were taken by the webmaster.

Guide signage for the upcoming US 119 junction, along northbound US 23 just northwest of the Virginia line.  Photo taken December 19, 2001.
The turnoff to US 119 South.  Note the onramp on the far right, to head north from US 119.  Photo taken December 19, 2001.

The US 23/US 119 duplex is marked by several steep rock cuts through this very hilly terrain, as seen in these two photos.  Note that the roadway is effectively a 5-lane undivided section...no raised or grass median at all.  Photo taken December 19, 2001.
US 460/KY 80 join at this junction here, forming a 4-way quadplex between here and Pikeville.  Note the on-ramp behind the route signs, for traffic heading north from US 460/KY 80.  Photo taken December 19, 2001.
US 119 North turns off here in Pikeville.  Photo taken December 19, 2001.
