Route description
KY 526 begins at a junction with KY 185 approximately halfway between the community or Richardsville and the city of Bowling Green in Warren County. The route heads east on two-lane undivided Mt. Olivet Road, passing through a mix of farmland and woods with some homes. The road curves southeast before heading east again. KY 526 reaches an intersection with the northern terminus of KY 957 in Mount Olivet. Past this intersection, the road continues east through more rural areas with some development and comes to an intersection with the southern terminus of KY 1320 near Ephiram White Park, a large sports complex in the Warren County Parks and Rec. System. The route curves to the southeast and passes to the west of a residential neighborhood, coming to a junction with the southern terminus of KY 2630. KY 526 continues to its eastern terminus at US 31W/US 68/KY 80 in Bristow.{{google maps |url=https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=KY-185+S&daddr=Mt+Olivet+Rd&hl=en&ll=37.053533,-86.390991&spn=0.073568,0.169086&sll=37.068328,-86.426868&sspn=0.073554,0.169086&geocode=FVOrNQIdRwbZ-g%3BFaEcNQIdSYja-g&t=h&mra=ls&z=13|title=overview of Kentucky Route 526|accessdate=February 6, 2013}}
