There are two main objectives of the Freight Movement and Intermodal Access in Kentucky Study (SPR 98-189) that is being undertaken by the Kentucky Transportation Center for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC): (1) evaluation of the access for trucks between intermodal or other truck generating sites and the National Highway System (NHS); and (2) furthering the understanding of freight commodity flows throughout the state. This report is slightly different from the others that summarize the access evaluation to a particular cluster of existing facilities. This route provides access to Edmonson county from the Western Kentucky Parkway (in Grayson county) and from I-65 (in Warren county) as shown on Figure 1. This route is not currently used by many trucks. Edmonson county was recommended for study by the Division of Transportation Planning of the KYTC due to the lack of 102 inch wide truck access. There is also a gross weight limit of 62,000 lbs on the entire route. The route is located in the Barren River Area Developments District and is in KYTC Highway District No. 3.
