With Interstate-quality hightways and the Pike County Regional Airport, the City of Pikeville has quite literally moved mountains to open us up to the commerce, retail, industry, and more.The Cut-Through Project(completed in 1987) moved a river and mountain to open Pikeville up for quality roads and access while also protecting the city from flooding. The New York Times called it the "Eighth Wonder of the World" and it is the second largest civil engineering project in the Western Hemisphere, behind the Panama Canal. This project is a true testament to injenuity and determination of Pikeville and it's people. Not even the mountains can stop us from progressing.
