Limestone Road Cut – Frankfort – Kentucky
A curving road cuts through a limestone cliff above Frankfort Kentucky, that is covered by the lush summer greenery Kentucky forests are known for.
Frankfort offers a unique experience to travelers, as the downtown is surrounded by limestone cliffs, cut by the Kentucky River that drains one third of state into the Ohio River to the North. To reach the newer parts of the city, a series of road cuts were created to reach the historic downtown, which resides along the Kentucky River, and at the base of the surrounding cliffs. Frankfort, Kentucky’s capital was founded 1786.
