*{{jct|state=KY|KY|30}} The highway goes east to [[Salyersville, Kentucky|Salyersville]] and west to [[Booneville, Kentucky|Booneville]]. It merges with KY 15 (at the present time) throughout most of the city. The west end is known, locally, as ''Booneville Road''.

The highway's southern terminus starts at the intersection of KY 15. Recently, an old section of KY 15 was annexed to the highway, and it is possible, once more of the re-routed KY 15 is finished, that it could annex more of the old KY 15 sections.
*{{jct|state=KY|KY|1812}} -''Not a Primary State Highway'' – The highway goes north to [[Campton, Kentucky|Campton]] and south to intersect and end near the KY 15 and KY 30 junction in Jackson. In the north, it connects with KY 205 and follows it until it intersects with the new section of KY 15; it follows KY 15 for a mile and then splits only to intersects KY 15 in Jackson once more; it then breaks away only to connect (partially) with Main Street and then heads south. It is part of what was once the original KY 15 when it was built in 1925. It can be a winding and curvy road in many places with a few [[hairpin turns]] as well. It is known locally by different names depending on which road it intersects or what section. i.e. Old Quicksand Rd., Broadway, College Ave, Brown St., Main Street, Washington Ave., Panbowl Rd., and so on.
