Route description
[edit]KY 3600 is the state highway designation for the western extension of the Veterans Outer Loop around the city of Glasgow, the Barren County seat. The route begins at a junction with KY 1267 and ends at a crossroad intersection with the concurrently running U.S. Route 68 (US 68) and KY 80, US 68 Business, and the pre-existing part of the outer loop on the west side of town.
History
[edit]During late 2014 and early 2015, the purpose of construction of KY 3600 was to provide another bypass route to ease up congestion on the US 31E By-pass, the major artery through the city. The project also included a fourth interchange on the Louie B. Nunn Cumberland Parkway. The project was completed on May 28, 2015, and the grand opening took place on June 4 of that year.[2][3]
Major intersections
[edit]The entire route is in Glasgow, Barren County.
