Intersection KY 90/KY 61, Burkesville, KY closed



2017-05-20 - KY 61/KY 90 Intersection - Photo by Ed Waggener, Columbiamagazine.com(c) .
The signs posted for 20 miles around this intersection mean it. Traffic is being diverted along the regular routes. At 3:41pmCT, Friday, May 19, 2017, we were able to make purchases at the Minit Mart. Access to Ballou & Stotts, left side of photo, was maintained on North Main Street. And the south side of the intersection could be accessed from here by side streets, with most traffic utilizing Cliff Street off Main to get to Schickel Park and the European Bike Rally, the Cumberland River access on Bank Street. It's takes longer, but in Burkesville and Cumberland County, being lost can yield wonderful rewards. Pedestrian access on the left, east side of N Main is maintained, and bicycle riders can walk bikes past the intersection. - EW

Intersection KY 90/KY 61, Burkesville, KY closed



2017-05-20 - From Minit Mart parking lot, Burkesville, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com photo(c).
The closed intersection is constantly changing street scene theater, with the "pavement improvement" underway at a frenetic pace. But there are some big time interruptions, which can make one stop and think. A 'comb of nilla' at the Taystee Freeze, in sight here but by car a somewhat major trip, can taste even better in imaginings than it may actually be. The 'swimming hole' in the center of the photo gives a hint of the scope of the undertaking.

Impromptu Detour Bypass: Burkesville, KY



2017-05-22 - Cliff Street, Burkesville, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, Columbiamagazine.com(c) .
Scarcely had the detour barricades gone at the intersection of KY 61 and KY 90 in Burkesville, KY for the repaving project there, than local residents had created an impromptu bypass at Cliff Street, Cumberland Drive, Veterans Drive, and a variety of other possibilities including Upper River Road to get from North to South 61. Similar work around "Shortcuts" were also developing on county roads and other city streets when this photo was taken. It was the route we took on a visit - just looked like everyone else was, and while we (editorial "we", meaning "me") may not be leaders, we are great followers. - EW.
