Coal Haul Highway System

The Coal Haul Highway System is comprised of the public highways on which coal was reported transported by truck in the previous year. The 2013 System designation is based on information submitted by coal transporters for the calendar year 2012.
To request a paper copy of the Coal Haul Highway System Report, please contact the Systems Team in the Division of Planning.
Appalachian Development Highway System

The ADHS was designed to generate economic development in previously isolated areas, supplement the interstate system, connect Appalachia to the interstate system, and provide access to areas within the Region as well a​s to markets in the rest of the nation. Corridors B, B1, F, G, I, J, Q, and R are located in total or in part in Kentucky.

​​Every 5 years Kentucky submits a report of the system status to the Appalachian Regional Commission.  Download the 2007 ADHS Cost to Complete Book or select a corridor map from the menu below:​​​

 

Kentucky Bridge Information

Terms and Definitions

  • Fracture-Critical
    A fracture-critical bridge is one that does not contain redundant supporting elements. This means that if those key supports fail, the bridge would be in danger of collapse. This does not mean the bridge is inherently unsafe, only that there is a lack of redundancy in its design.
  • Functionally obsolete:
    A bridge that is functionally obsolete is not necessarily unsafe. This category indicates the bridge has older design features not built to today's standards. A functionally obsolete bridge is likely not wide enough or tall enough to accommodate current vehicle sizes, weights and traffic volumes.
  • Not Deficient:
    A Bridge that is neither structurally deficient nor functionally obsolete.
  • Structurally Deficient:
    A bridge that is structurally deficient is not necessarily unsafe. This category indicates the bridge has elements that need to be repaired and/or monitored. A structurally deficient bridge should be maintained, inspected and monitored on a regular basis.
  • Sufficiency Rating:
    The Sufficiency Rating is calculated from a complex formula (developed by the FHWA) using 18 data items from the Structural Inventory and Appraisal (SI&A). A number (or rating) is generated from 0 to 100 indicating the bridge's structural and functional condition. The 100 possible points are allocated as follows: 55 points for "Structural Adequacy and Safety", 30 points are for "Serviceability and Functional Obsolescence", and 15 points for "Essentiality for Public Use".

KYTC Spatial Data

Roadway Asset Shapefiles
The Highway Information System (HIS) database contains highway information collected and maintained by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. No warranty, expressed or implied, is given to the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or suitability for any particular purpose of the information or data contained in HIS. If questions arise concerning the currency, meaning, or usage of the data, contact the Division of Planning at (502) 564-7183 or kytc.planningwebpage@ky.gov.

For Use With GIS
The six separate files in each .zip file together compose an ESRI™ SHAPEFILE and can be opened in a wide range of GIS programs. The shapefiles are in Kentucky State Plane Single Zone projection.

For Use In Spreadsheets
One of the six files is a .dbf file that can be opened in a spreadsheet program such as MS Excel.

Terms and Descriptions:
Under KRS 177.020 the State Primary Road System classifies state-maintained roadways by the type of service and function they provide. 603 KAR 3:030 designates the following classes :

State Primary System: Interstates (symbolized by black lines on maps), parkways (brown lines) and other long distance, high volume intrastate routes (red lines) of statewide significance that generally link major urban areas within the state.

State Secondary System: Regionally significant routes (green lines) of shorter distance which provide mobility and access to land use activity, generally serving smaller cities and county seats within a region.

Rural Secondary System: Routes of sub-regional significance (yellow lines) which might include urban arterial streets and other collectors, often with access to land use activity such as farm-to-market routes as their main function.

Supplemental Roads: All other state-maintained routes (purple lines) such as frontage roads, cross roads and local access roads such as farm-to-market routes as their main function.
