Kentucky Route 90 originates at a junction with KY 70 near I-65 in Cave City in Barren County. (Signs at the I-65 exit tend to imply that KY 90 ends at the exit itself, while state highway documents indicate that the end is at the intersection with KY 70, about from the exit proper.) The route continues through Metcalfe County, Cumberland County, Clinton County, Wayne County, Pulaski County and McCreary County to terminate at a junction with U.S. 25W at Youngs Creek in Whitley County nine miles (14 km) northwest of Williamsburg. ==Route description== Kentucky Route 90 begins at Cave City at an intersection with Kentucky Route 70 in the one part of the city where many restaurants, hotels, and gas stations are located. It is a major tourism hot-spot due to the close proximity to Mammoth Cave National Park and a few other attractions along KY 70 west of the city. KY 90 has an intersection with US Route 31W after KY 90's first mile. KY 90 then heads into a south-southeasterly path to the Barren County seat, Glasgow, where it crosses the Veterans Outer Loop passes the local Walmart and a local Marquee Cinema, and then has junctions with US Highways 31E and 68, which is co-joined with Kentucky Route 80 in this area. It also has an intersection with US 31E's business loop at the Barren County courthouse. Before leaving the city of Glasgow, KY 90 has an intersection with the Louie B. Nunn Cumberland Parkway at the exit 14 interchange on the southeastern side of the city. After leaving Glasgow, the highway continues in a southeasterly fashion and passes through the small town of Eighty Eight, and then goes into southern Metcalfe County, and passes through Summer Shade, and then goes into Cumberland County, and passes through Marrowbone and Burkesville. After going through Burkesville, KY 90 turns due east, crosses the Cumberland River, and has intersections with short roads leading to Dale Hollow Lake State Park, and then goes into Clinton County, where, for about 1.5 miles, it is co-joined with US Route 127, which is the core route of the annual World's Longest Yard Sale (a.k.a. The Highway 127 Corridor Sale) takes place in early August. KY 90 then goes through more rural areas and then into Wayne County where it intersects Kentucky Route 92 at Monticello. Kentucky Route 90 continues into a northeasterly course towards Mill Springs, the site of a famous Civil War battle site, and a mill built in 1877 (accessible via KY 1275). It enters Pulaski County. The highway's multiplex with US Route 27 begins after KY 90 crosses the Cumberland River for a second time (except the river at that point would still be part of Lake Cumberland) near Burnside, Kentucky. KY 90 runs concurrently with U.S. 27 for about 14.6 miles (23.5 km) from Burnside to Parkers Lake. This stretch of road is the gateway to General Burnside State Park After departing US 27 in northern McCreary County, KY 90 is the gateway to Cumberland Falls State Resort Park. At the route's terminus in the Whitley County cummunity of Young's Creek, there is a 0.32 mile-long (0.51 km) spur called KY 90S that serves as a secondary entrance to the highway for northbound traffic on U.S. 25W. The road is signed as KY 90, however. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kentucky Route 90」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
