Steve Strodtman: Jamestown Street vs. Jamestown Road Steve Strodtman writes: I'm just newly planted in Columbia-living here going on fourteen years-and have yet to understand if Jamestown Street 42728 is just another name for Jamestown Road 42728 or are they really TWO asphalt/gravel(?) ribbons running through our fine county? -Steve StrodtmanOn every street off the Square, there is a point where each changes from "Street" to "Road." For Campbellsville Street, the north side of the Russell Creek Bridge, for instance, is Campbellville "Road." For Jamestown Street, Jamestown Street changes to Jamestown "Road" South of the Parkway overpass. And then it changes again at the city limits to "Highway 55 South Road." Russell Road stays Russell Road until one crosses the Russell Creek Bridge. On the Other side it becomes Russell Springs Highway. (At one time we called the whole stretch from Columbia to Russell Springs, "Road Eighty." Greensburg Street changes to Greensburg "Road" north of the Adair County Veterans Bypass. Fairground Street, sometimes Fairgrounds Street, is listed on old maps as Stanford Road. Now, across the Russell Creek Bridge, to the East, it is Liberty Road or 206 or KY 206. It's a bit confusing. And quite possibly the answer is a bit wrong in places. Occasionally, things are simplified, as was the case for Frazier Avenue, which once had three or four names from one end of a continuous road to the other end. - EW This story was posted on 2018-04-08 16:44:01
