Two U.S. highways and numerous state highways serve the city of Ashland, Kentucky directly, while an interstate and a U.S. highway serve the city indirectly.
[edit] Interstates
- Interstate 64 does not serve Ashland directly, however, it is listed as a major control city in Kentucky. It has two interchanges at milepost 185 and 191 for KY 180 and US 23 respectively.
[edit] U.S. highways
Three federal highways enter Ashland or come very close to it.
- US 23 (also known as Corridor B according to the ADHS) enters from the northwest at Westwood and crosses over a hill-to-valley viaduct into downtown Ashland. It diverges to Greenup Avenue, with Winchester Avenue becoming Business US 23 at 7th Street. Business US 23 reconnects to US 23 southeast near 35th Street. US 23 is also multiplexed with US 60 from 11th Street southeast to the Catlettsburg city line.
- Business US 23, or US 23X, is also known as Winchester Avenue between the divergence of US 23 at Greenup Avenue at both ends. It is 1.796 miles in length.
- US 23 Spur, or US 23S, is the Simeon Willis Memorial Bridge.
- US 60 enters from the south at Boy Scout Road and continues north to Winchester Avenue. It then utilizes 10th and 11th Streets to multiplex with US 23 to the Catlettsburg city line.
- US 52, in Ohio, does not enter the city, however, it has an interchange with the twin Ashland Bridges. The Ben Williamson Memorial Bridge and the Simeon Willis Memorial Bridge provide access to and from Ashland into Ohio.
