Aerial picture of the Eastern Bypass in Richmond in March 1977. The bypass runs up the middle of the photo towards the Eastern Kentucky University campus. Visible in the upper-right portion of the photo on campus is Keene Hall, a 16 story residence hall. What is now called Roy Kidd Stadium, home of the football Colonels, is directly behind it. Toward the left on campus are Alumni Coliseum and Commonwealth Hall, a 20-story dormitory. Running horizontally across the bottom is Interstate 75.
