Kentucky Route 194, also known as KY 194, is a state highway in the U.S. state of Kentucky. It uses a very winding alignment, beginning at Kentucky Route 1428 at Alvin and running easterly via German, Thomas, McCombs, Mayflower, Meta (where it overlaps U.S. Highway 119), Blackburn Bottom, Deskin, Kimper, Phyllis, Nigh, Dunlap, Jamboree, Phelps, Board Tree, Freeburn, Majestic, Stopover, and Argo to the Virginia state line. In Virginia, secondary State Route 697 and State Route 643 continue via Hurley to State Route 83 at Stacy, Virginia.
KY 194 is part of the Rural Secondary System from KY 1428 to the intersection with Sycamore Road at the Mountain Public Links golf course (between McCombs and Mayflover), and the State Secondary System the rest of the way to Virginia. A 0.066-mile (0.106 km) Kentucky Route 194 Spur connects KY 194 at Freeburn with the Edgarton Bridge over the Tug Fork River, connecting to West Virginia Route 49 across the river and state line.
Famous quotes containing the words kentucky and/or route:
“The pure products of America go crazy—mountain folk from Kentucky or the ribbed north end of Jersey with its isolate lakes and valleys, its deaf-mutes, thieves.”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
