Kentucky Route 1928 (KY 1928) was a state highway in the city of Lexington in Fayette County, Kentucky. The highway ran 0.170 miles (0.274 km) along Jefferson Street from U.S. Route 60 (US 60) east to US 25 and US 421.
Route description
KY 1928 mostly consisted of a four-lane viaduct across a parking lot for Rupp Arena to the southeast. The highway's western terminus was a right-in/right-out intersection with westbound US 60 (High Street). There was no direct access to and from eastbound US 60, which followed Maxwell Street in the U.S. Highway's one-way pair. KY 1928's only intermediate intersection was with KY 1681 (Manchester Street), which entered the three-legged intersection on its own bridge segment. KY 1928's northern terminus was Main Street, on which US 25 and US 421 run concurrently. Jefferson Street continued east as a municipally maintained street through the Western Suburb Historic District. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet classified KY 1928 as a state secondary highway.[1][2]
History
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet reclassified KY 1928 from a primary state highway to a secondary state highway through a January 23, 2011, official order.[3]
On November 16, 2017, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and the Lexington-Fayette County Urban Government reached an agreement to swap several streets in the Lexington metro area. KY 1928 was turned over to the city, resulting in its decommission. The decommissioning was centered around the city's desire to demolish the Jefferson Street bridge over a parking lot.[4]
Major intersections
The entire route was in Lexington, Fayette County.
