Catlettsburg

The Chattaroi Railroad opened through Catlettsburg in 1880, and the line was acquired by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad (C&O) in 1911. The original alignment was relocated and elevated through the city in 1929 which included the construction of this underpass. It was originally two lanes and converted to a one-lane northbound operation c. 1966.

Raceland-Worthington

The Raceland-Worthington underpass connecting Raceland and Worthington consists of three underpasses that carry KY Route 244 under the Russell Railyard and bypass tracks:

  • A circa 1929 one-lane underpass that was expanded in 1949 by the Bethlehem Steel Company;
  • A circa 1956-57 two-lane underpass built by the American Bridge Company (US Steel);
  • A circa 1956-57 two-lane underpass built by the American Bridge Company (US Steel).
