Photos from the New Years Day trip west to Texas begin with some new signage on KY 30 in Laurel County. KY 30 has been rerouted onto a new alignment and this is new signage, with a photo taken in the pre-dawn hours.

Couldn't really tell if this is a new exit or just a new overpass, but as seen in the photo two pics ago, it's stimulus-funded.

I-65 used to continue along I-24's route, and the highway turning right used to be I-265. I-265 was eliminated in 2000 and I-65 was routed onto that highway.
