text: # Kentucky Route 100
  
  Kentucky Route 100 (KY 100) is a state highway in south-central Kentucky. It originates at a junction with U.S. Highway 79 in Russellville in Logan County. The route continues through Simpson, Allen and Monroe Counties to terminate at a junction with KY 90 near Waterview in Cumberland County.
  
  According to the Caves, Lakes, and Corvettes regional brochure by the Kentucky Department of Tourism, the entire KY 100 corridor is considered a Kentucky Scenic Byway.
  
  ## History
  
  Kentucky Route 100 was one out of many charter state highways when the statewide system of state highways began in the late 1920s into 1930. Its original western terminus was located near downtown Russellville, and its eastern terminus was originally located about 3 miles (4.8 km) west of Burkesville on KY 90. It originally went through unincorporated small communities such as Leslie and Arat.
  
  However, at some time between 1945 and 1958, KY 100's final few miles and its eastern terminus were both rerouted to its current location with another intersection with KY 90 at Waterview, further west of Burkesville. KY 1205 and most of KY 691 are the current designations for the original KY 100 ending. The remaining parts of the original alignment in western Cumberland County are either no longer existing (especially the originally unpaved section) or they still exist, but is now maintained by the Cumberland County Road Department.
  
  In 2015, KY 100's western terminus was truncated to a crossroads intersection with U.S. Route 68 and US 68 Business on the east side of Russellville. This was done to reduce car accidents at the original west terminus, which was also where US 79's northern terminus was originally located. In 2018, the western terminus was truncated again to Franklin Road's intersection with the then-new southern loop of the Russellville Bypass with the US 79 designation.
