January 2011 Update:  With the exception of the bridges crossing the lakes, the new four-lane US 68/KY 80 is now complete throughout the Land Between The Lakes.  The project was completed in November 2010 and took a little more than three years to complete. 

Below are photos taken in the summer of 2009.
