Pikeville Cut-Through
The Pikeville Cut-Through is a rock cut in Pikeville, Kentucky, United States created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, through which passes a four-lane divided highway (Corridor B, numbered as US 23, US 119, US 460, and KY 80), a railroad line (CSX Big Sandy Subdivision), and the Levisa Fork of the Big Sandy River.〔 It is one of the largest civil engineering projects in the western hemisphere, moving nearly 〔 of soil and rock, compared to the Big Dig (15 million cubic yards) and the Panama Canal (240 million cubic yards).〔(Flow Diversion-Pikeville Cut-Through ) University of Kentucky. Retrieved on 2010-11-22.〕 Dr. William Hambley, who served as mayor of Pikeville for 29 years, Robert H. Holcomb, Chamber of Commerce president, and Henry Stratton, local attorney, spearheaded the project.
The Pikeville Cut-Through is wide, long, and is deep.〔Maddox, Connie. The Pikeville Cut-Through Project (brochure). Pikeville-Pike County Tourism. Retrieved on 2010-06-17〕 The project was completed in 1987 following 14 years of work at a cost of $77.6 million ($ in dollars).〔 Retrieved on 2010-06-17〕
==Purpose==
The project was initially envisioned by Pikeville native Dr. William Hambley in 1960.〔(Pikeville "Cut-Thru Project" ) Kentucky Tourism. Retrieved on 2010-06-17〕 He simply wanted to relocate the railbed because he wanted to eliminate the dust that came from the coal hauling trains that passed through the city daily. In 1963, Pikeville received a $38,000 federal grant for a railroad relocation feasibility study and was named a Model City by the recently formed Model Cities Agency, generating even more funding. By 1965, his plan had further developed to accommodate Corridor B of the Appalachian Development Highway System, assuring the construction of the Pikeville Cut-Through.〔(The Pikeville Cut-Through Project ) Pike County, Kentucky Chamber of Commerce. Retrieved on 2010-06-17〕
It was also decided to relocate the Levisa Fork of the Big Sandy River, which then snaked through the downtown area, to eliminate almost yearly flooding. The river bed then was to be reclaimed, significantly increasing the available space for development within the city.〔
