Route 284 is a 7.03-mile (11.31 km) state highway in New Jersey, United States, running from Route 23 in Sussex north to the New York state line in Wantage Township.
 New York State Route 284 continues north to U.S. Route 6 at Slate Hill, New York.
 The route is a connector to Unionville, and intersects with an old alignment of its original designation, Route 84.
 Route 284 was first a part of Route 8 in the 1920s, becoming Route 8N in 1927 and Route 84 in 1942 before being assigned Route 284 in 1966.
Kentucky Route 80 (KY 80) is a 483.55 mi state highway in the southern part of the U.S. state of Kentucky.
 The route originates on the state's western border at Columbus in Hickman County, and stretches across the southern portion of the state, terminating southeast of Elkhorn City on the Virginia state line.
 It is the longest Kentucky State Highway, though the official distance as listed in route logs is much less due to multiple concurrencies with U.S. Route 68 (US 68) and U.S. Route 23.
The Jesse Stuart Memorial Bridge is a viaduct bridge on top of the Greenup Lock and Dam on the Ohio River.
 The bridge, named after author and Greenup County, Kentucky native Jesse Stuart, was completed in 1984 and carries Kentucky Route 10 (unsigned) from the AA Highway/U.S. Route 23 intersection to the bridge itself, where it becomes State Route 253 to U.S. Route 52.
 The Ohio approach has a ramp to a rest area operated by the Ohio Department of Transportation.
 There is also a park on the Kentucky side of the bridge, which is open for fishing and recreation.
 This park is operated by the United States Army Corps of Engineers.
 Both facilities, and the bridge itself, were briefly closed after the September 11 attacks due to terrorism concerns since they are all part of the Greenup Locks and Dam complex.
 They have since reopened; however, access to the observation platforms on both sides of the dam is no longer permitted.
