KY Hwy 4 - New Circle Road Lexington - Fayette County - Kentucky Sunday_29-December-2024 R.J.Corman RxR Overpass Crossing of New Circle Road at Palumbo Drive - South East Quadrant https://ibb.co/LzMXV2g6" rel="nofollow">  38° 1'32.98" North Parallel - 84°27'12.77" West Meridian 1,025' Above Sea Level Left = West to R.J.Corman Buchanon Street Yard or East to CSX Interchange at Winchester via a "Y" Right = East to industrial spurs and a dead end New Circle Road encompasses Lexington; we are travelling in the contrary clocker-wise direction; Inner Lexington is on our Left; Outer Lexington is on our Right. R.J.Corman RxR Overpass Crossing of New Circle Road at US68 - North East Quadrant https://ibb.co/ynWW16wm" rel="nofollow">  38° 4'0.93" North Parallel - 84°28'19.18" West Meridian 956' Above Sea Level Left = South(West) to R.J.Corman Buchanon Street Yard Right = North(East) to CSX Interchange at Winchester This line used to parallel US68/US27 all the way to Paris; the Paris route no longer exists. Both these bridges are Deck Plate Girder Bridges; "Deck" meaning the road-bed is on a deck above the Plate Girders; were they "Thru Plate Girder Bridges", the Plate Girders would be inverted and the track(s) would pass between the Plates, the Plates sort of serving as sides to the bridge.
