Route description
The highway begins at US 150 on the east-southeast side of Bardstown, just west of US 150's junction with the Bluegrass Parkway. It then serves as a northern bypass of Bardstown, intersecting US 62 and US 150 again, this time in an overlap with US 31E. From there, it travels primarily northwestward, passing along the northern side of the Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest. It then intersects with I-65 at exit 112 south of Shepherdsville before ending at KY 61.{{cite map |author= DeLorme |author-link= DeLorme |year= 2010 |title= Kentucky Atlas and Gazetteer |scale= |location= |publisher= DeLorme |pages= 35, 49}}{{full citation needed|date=December 2015}}
