Kentucky Route 3160 (KY 3160) was a 3.212-mile-long (5.169 km) four-lane divided east-west state highway located entirely in Barren County in the south-central part of the U.S. state of Kentucky.

Route description

Main article: Veterans Outer Loop

KY 3160 was the first section of the Veterans Outer Loop to be built in the early 2000s. It originated on the west side of Glasgow at an intersection running concurrently with U.S. Route 68 (US 68) and KY 80, and ended at an intersection with US 31E on the north side of town.

History

The KY 3600 designation was first assigned to a secondary route in Hardin County. That has long been re-designated as another state route number.

In the early 2000s, the construction of the Veterans Outer Loop near Glasgow, in Barren County, began with a stretch of road connecting with US 68 on the west side of Glasgow to US 31E on the north side. It was completed in 2004, and it was designated as KY 3160.[2]

In the 2010/11 fiscal year, the Veterans Outer Loop was extended eastward to make a complete bypass around the city. When it was completed in 2012, US 68 was re-routed onto the Veterans Outer Loop, while the existing US 68 alignment was re-designated as US 68 Business. Therefore, the designation of KY 3160 was decommissioned by the KTC for a second time.

Major intersections

The entire route is in Glasgow, Barren County.
