History[]
This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2007) |
Beginning in the early 1960s, KY 7 was relocated near Bruin when a portion of the Little Sandy River was impounded to create Grayson Lake. To facilate a growing number of recreational enthusiasts, KY 7 was reconstructed on a new two-lane alignment from the northern edge of the Grayson Lake recreational area to Grayson between 1965 and 1975.
The route between Salyersville and Grayson was designated a part of the London-Ashland Highway in the mid-1990s. The designation extends along KY 7 and KY 30 between Interstate 64 in Grayson to Interstate 75 in London.[citation needed] As such, much of KY 7 between the southern boundary of Grayson Lake to Sandy Hook has been upgraded or relocated to a new alignment. The new alignments feature a 60 mph (97 km/h) design speed, full 12-foot (3.7 m) shoulders, and 12-foot (3.7 m) travel lanes.
