Scenic
Byways and Highways
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet
currently has 1,250 miles of roadways
designated as Scenic Byway and Highways.
The
Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency
Act (ISTEA) of 1991 established a Scenic
Byways Advisory Committee to develop
a national scenic byways program. ISTEA
further encouraged the individual states
to institute state scenic byway programs.
The Commonwealth of Kentucky through
the Transportation Cabinet has initiated
a Scenic Byways and Highways Program
in Kentucky. Kentucky defines a scenic
highway or byway as a road which has
roadsides or view sheds of aesthetic,
cultural, historical, and/or archaeological
value worthy of preservation, restoration,
protection, and enhancement.
