Ace Barnes' stretch and curve

When you go north from the Estill County middle school toward Hargett, you will travel through a straigh stretch known as ACIE BARNES' stretch followed by a dangerous curve called the Acie Barnes curve. A very dangerous curve NOT included on Estill County's 6 year road plan! This dangerous curve is close to the Dry Ridge road that leads to the proposed Veterans' Park.

Speaking of this curve (it isn't safe to stop and take a picture of it), guard rails are right against the curve. An inexperienced driver could easily lose his or her life by taking this curve at a high rate of speed. There are no shoulders on this road and as soon as your car leaves the road you will lose control.

Parents of Estill County High school drivers should warn your teen drivers about this dangerous road.
