Critical review of the Paris-Lexington Road project, which has come to be regarded as the model for context-sensitive highway design in America. Begun in 1969, Kentucky set out to widen the Paris-Lexington corridor to improve safety and capacity, leading to a twenty year battle between conservationists and developers, resulting in a 1979 federal court injunction that halted the project for 14 years.
