Dixie, 7th Street and I-264
Three Roads And Five Route Numbers.
Shively's main roads each carry more than one number, which trips up a lot of breakdown calls. Dixie Highway is US 31W and US 60, 7th Street Road is US 60 Alternate and KY 1931, and I-264 goes by two expressway names. Here's how to describe each one to dispatch.
264
I-264 Exits For Shively
Shawnee Expressway, also listed as Henry Watterson
Exits 5, 8A and 8B are the Shively exits on I-264. Because the expressway has two names on the map, the exit plus the way you were headed say more than the name does.
- Exit 5
- Exit 8A
- Exit 8B
60 Alternate
7th Street Road Through Shively
US 60 Alternate, also KY 1931
7th Street Road is signed US 60 Alternate and KY 1931. A tractor or trailer stuck along it can often be worked on where it sits once it's safely out of the lane.

Trailers parked off Dixie Highway get the same yard visit their tractors do: brake adjustments, lighting and wiring faults, leaking air and the annual DOT sheet. Cracked frames and welding repairs go back to the Bishop Lane shop, where the bays are.
US 60, both ends of the county
Shively And Lyndon, Timed From The Shop.
US 60 is Dixie Highway in Shively and runs again through Lyndon on the county's east side. The two towns sit on opposite sides of Bishop Lane, and the drives come out close: roughly 8 and 9 miles. Pick one to see its line.
