Major Roads
Several major North - South routes were improved during the 1990s, helping to connect the region with the major cities of the Bluegrass and Ohio, besides Interstates 65 and 75, and providing routes to popular tourist attractions like Lake Cumberland. These roads south of Cumberland Parkway have not been improved and thus access with northern Tennessee is limited.

Famous quotes containing the words major and/or roads:
“Give me the keys. I feel for the common chord again,
Sliding by semi-tones till I sink to a minor,—yes,
And I blunt it into a ninth, and I stand on alien ground,
Surveying a while the heights I rolled from into the deep;
Which, hark, I have dared and done, for my resting-place is found,
The C Major of this life: so, now I will try to sleep.”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
“Other roads do some violence to Nature, and bring the traveler to stare at her, but the river steals into the scenery it traverses without intrusion, silently creating and adorning it, and is as free to come and go as the zephyr.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
