List of roads in Lexington, Kentucky

A beltway surrounds central Lexington, while numerous state routes and connector roads fill in the transportation gap.

The interstate-quality highway would have connected the western fringe of downtown to the eastern edge, and have been located between High and Maxwell Streets.

Another proposal included a freeway in the Vine Street corridor after the removal of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway tracks.

Each proposal was discarded as impractical, as each plan included insufficient ramp access, blockage of downtown traffic, and a necessity to renovate adjoining buildings to raise the floor levels.
