It is one of the largest civil engineering projects in the western hemisphere, moving nearly 18,000,000 cubic yards (14,000,000 m3) of soil and rock, compared to the Big Dig (15,000,000 cubic yards (11,000,000 m3)) and the Panama Canal (240,000,000 cubic yards (180,000,000 m3)). , who served as mayor of Pikeville for 29 years, , Chamber of Commerce president, and , local attorney, spearheaded the project.

The Pikeville Cut-Through is 1,300 feet (400 m) wide, 3,700 feet (1.1 km) long, and is 523 feet (159 m) deep. The project was completed in 1987 following 14 years of work at a cost of $77.6 million ($185 million in 2021 dollars). (en)
  • Pikeville Cut-Through är en utgrävd dalgång i Pikeville i Kentucky i USA, som skapades av amerikanska arméns ingenjörstrupper. Den tillkom för att ge plats för en fyrfältsväg med beteckningarna U.S. Route 23, , och , en järnväg och , en biflod till . Det var ett av de största byggnationsprojekt som genomförts på västra halvklotet, och innefattade att flytta på 14 miljoner kubikmeter (m3) jord och sten. Detta kan jämföras med Big Dig i Boston (11,5 miljoner m3) och Panamakanalen (184 miljoner m3). Projektet initierades och drevs av William Hambley, som var borgmästare för Pikeville i 29 år, Robert H. Holcomb, ordförande för handelskammaren, och Henry Stratton, en lokalt verksam jurist. Pikeville Cut-Through är 400 meter bred, 1130 meter lång och 159 meter djup. Projektet fullbordades 1987 efter 14 års arbete till en kostnad av 77,6 miljoner dollar. (sv)
