These photos are from my trip to the St. Louis roadgeek meeting. They are from Kentucky and Indiana and were taken on April 18, 2008.

Our photo journey to the 2008 St. Louis roadgeek meeting begins at the split of I-64 and I-75 on the northwest side of Lexington.

They've finally fixed this Exit 118 sign. During a recent sign replacement project, the arrow pointed to the right, which is I-75 north. Since the combined stretch of 75 and 64 carries 75's numbers, the exit is correctly as shown here.

Due to a large number of crossover accidents, cable barriers have been installed along several interstates in the Louisville area, including this stretch of I-64 inside the Watterson Expressway.

Clearview!

|
Look closely and you can see remnants from the days that Kentucky used lighting on its overhead signs. There are several relics like this in the Louisville area.
|
These overheads are actually on I-71, which ends up between the lanes of I-64 in the Spaghetti Junction area near 71's southern terminus. If you'll look closely in the background, you can see that the "I-65 North, Indianapolis" sign in the distance is in Clearview while the other sign is in regular FHWA style.

New Clearview installation which was done as part of the "Restore 64" project in the summer of 2007.

Twin signs -- the one on the left is for traffic entering I-64 west from I-65 south.

How do you know it's Indiana signage? Button copy!

You'll still see a lot of button copy in Indiana, including most of the guide signs on I-64.

Why is there an I-64 overhead here? Possibly to avoid confusion with IND 64.

|
You don't see this sign often.
|
Which is it? Does the rest area end here or as shown in the previous photo?

This used to be IND 37 until a new route, the O'Bannon Highway, was built north of the IND 37 exit a few miles further down the road.
