The rock fences that line Paris Pike are rife with historical significance. Some of the rock fences date to the 19th century, when Irish immigrants found work building the enclosures for plantation owners in the Bluegrass region who wanted to emulate the beauty of English country estates.
The state went to a lot of effort to preserve, move and protect the fences as part of a nearly $7.5 million-per-mile Paris Pike renovation that was designed to blend into, rather than consume, the landscape. At $93 million, the Paris Pike makeover was one of the most expensive road projects of its time and kind when it opened in 2003.
Eleven years later, significant chunks of the fences have crumbled, and there isn't money set aside for repairs.
Henry Alexander said he has noticed increasing portions of the historic rock wall fences deteriorating in recent months.
"It's kind of bad in spots," said Alexander, retired general manager of Sterling Stud Farm in Lexington and past chairman of the Paris Pike Corridor Commission. "I don't know whether somebody hit them or if it's the weather. Some of the old fences in the median in the middle are getting in rough shape."
The freeze-thaw cycle of winter and automobile impacts are likely culprits, said Natasha Lacy, public information officer for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. The state is responsible for repairing the fences in the median of the 12.5-mile route between Paris and Lexington.
Those median rock fences previously were on the road frontage of farms on either side of the road. If the fences couldn't be avoided during the renovation, they were dismantled and reconstructed, said Phil Logsdon, assistant director of Environmental Analysis for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and former environmental coordinator for the Paris Pike project. About 2 miles of fences were rebuilt, he said.
Most of the rock fences affected during the widening were in Fayette County near Elmendorf and Normandy farms, Logsdon said.
Alexander said Millennium Farm and other property on the western side of the project also were affected.
Horse farm owners are much quicker at performing needed repairs to their rock fences, which line either side of Paris Pike, Alexander said.

Historic fences saved in remodeling of Paris Pike are crumbling
GAMES bosses have confirmed that controversial security fences in Glagsow's East End will stay up until at least August.
And there will be no financial compensation for residents in Dalmarnock who say they have put up with "five years of hell."
The Evening Times can also reveal similar fences have been erected at Hampden Park and Celtic Park, and will be installed at other venues including the lawn bowls centre at Kelvingrove and Cathkin Braes mountain biking track.
Paul Main, Chief Superintendent in charge of community engagement for the Games, said the need for the fencing will become clearer as the event start date nears, when it will become a "transport mall" for athletes and deliveries.
Mr Main said: "I think when people start visiting this venue, as well as others including for the lawn bowls, badminton and squash, they will see the same thing.
"There is no difference to the fence in Springfield Road and the fences at any other venues - Cathkin Braes, the Royal Commonwealth pool in Edinburgh, for example.
"The difference is that it's up so early because it's one of the first venues to become live. It's also in such close proximity to well-established residential communities.
"As the Games progress it could be they realise it's not just them, it will be happening across the city."
Speaking to the Evening Times, Paul Zealey, head of legacy and engagement on the Commonwealth Games organising committee, said he recognises there have been "isolated cases" where residents were not given adequate communication.
Mr Zealey said letters were issued to members of the community informing them of the work due to take place and what the impact would be for them.

Graywater, gates and fences, the preliminary budget and animal control will be the topics of the Paradise Town Council's regular June meeting on Tuesday at 6 p.m.
A public hearing will be held regarding the use of graywater systems, so residents can use washing machine water for irrigating their landscaping, Town Manager Lauren Gill said.
"In light of the drought situation and in light of our water savings effort with PID, we are looking at our grey water ordinance so we can make it easier for citizens to install grey water systems," Gill said, adding that the grey water systems will save water and money.
The council will also hold a public hearing to consider a zoning code amendment relating to the installation of gates and fences on private easements. The proposed amendment would regulate gates, fences and other barriers the same in regard to the zoning code, and would require all neighboring parties to be in agreement with the installation of a gate across a private easement.
The planning commission considered the amendment at its last meeting, but did not make a recommendation to the council as to whether they should adopt the amendments. Three of the four commissioners said they wanted a separate definition in the code for gates and fences.
Commissioner Stephanie Neumann made a motion to recommend the council adopt the amendments, saying that a closed gate and a fence are both barriers and should be considered the same in regard to the zoning code. The motion died without a second.
The council will also consider the preliminary budget at the meeting, as well as placing a general use sales tax increase on the November ballot. The sales tax increase will be a half-cent increase for six years.
Gill said the council has received budget updates at every meeting during the last year, so the council already is aware of the financial situation.
