 A
whole bunch of US route shields just north of the TN-VA border on US 23. |
 US
23 North in Virginia. |
 Business
US 23 and Business US 58 shields. |
 There's
another US 58 shield to the right. It seems like you'll never be able
to shake that route as you go further north in the state. |
 US
23 gets a bit more freeway-like for a few miles here and there. |
 Welcome
to Kentucky! |
 Kentucky
US 23. |
 US
23 in Kentucky is the Country Music Highway, and there is an artist's name
in the sign, too. A different artist for each sign. |
 South
of Pikeville. |
 KY
805. |
 Most
of US 23 in this state is 5 lanes. Little traffic, too. |
 That's
a pretty big rock cut there. |
 US
23, US 119, US 460, and KY 80, which traverses the state. |
 The
start of the multiplex. |
 Flyovers
at Pikeville. |
 US
119 leaves us here, north of Pikeville. |
 US
23 rounds a series of curves to the left just like this one, and they all
have the jersey barrier, as shown in this pic. At first, I thought I
was having the condition where you experience things over and over again,
but is impossible to spell. |

your local Ford-Honda dealer today! |
 Another
freeway section of US 23 NB. |
 Holy
nuggets! The sun is out! |
 Paintsville
is in 13 miles. |
 A
brief detour on KY 3 to get a county. |
 We're
two-laning it for a few miles. |
 Whooosh!
goes the pretty blue car around this curve on KY 3. |
 At
KY 321. |
 Soon
enough, KY 3 bulks up to 5 lanes. |
 At
KY 1884. KY 3 ends at KY 645 begins near Inez. |
 Luckily
this detour comes right back to US 23. |
 I
am sort of uncomfortable around power plants, nuclear or not. So this
was a great ride. |
 Huge
freakin' pile of coal. This picture shows, like, 20% of the entire
pile. |
 US
23 North at I-64. |
 US
60 at Ashland. |
 A
scene on US 23 NB in the Ashland area. |
 Some
shields in Ashland. |
 Ooh,
a building! |
 To
US 52 via US 60. |
 Not
named for AARoads,
though it should be. |
 US
23 goes through some bluffy country in northern Kentucky. Portsmouth,
OH, is in just a couple more miles. |
