If you find yourself driving around Nicholasville, Kentucky, you might want to keep your eyes open for a newly named road. That would be Barbaro Lane!
On August 1, according to Kentucky.com, sections of Harrodsburg Road will be renamed. One section will be called Barbaro Lane in honor of the 2006 Kentucky Derby winnner. Barbaro's birthplace, the former Sanborn Farm (now called Springmint Farm), is located in Jessamine county, where this road is situated.
The folks around this new stretch of road voted on the names. Apparently Barbaro continues to be a topic of conversation in the neighborhood where he was foaled!
Addressing coordinator for Jessamine County 911 explained that it was necessary for this stretch of road to have formal names so that emergency services vehicles could find the location where they were needed.
The four new sections of the road were created when the new highway, four lane US 68 was built. The new road weave back and forth over the old Harrodsburg Raod.
If anyone goes, be sure to take a picture!
