Dave, I don't about statistically dangerous, but I-71 from Crestwood to Verona is hilly and curvy.
I-64 from I-265 to Shelbyville is also really bad, but I don't the state would put up cable barriers since it is going to be widened pretty soon

Do you know which KSP post covers those highways? I may be able to get the newer stats there. |

Are they widening I-64 from Louisville to eventually Lexington or are they going to stop between Shelbyville and Frankfort? I drove through there yesterday and they have completed a good deal of widening between Shelbyville and near the Franklin County line. |

A particularly dangerous stretch is on I-75 between Mt Vernon and London. It's a six lane road in one stretch, but immediately drops to two as you descend down a hill and drop into the Rockcastle River valley. Also making it worse is the widening construction that is taking place between the bridge and Livingston.
