The route is located entirely within Laurel County; the majority of the highway runs along the border of, or within the city limits of, London.

Between the park and US 25, the route is known locally as Levi Jackson Mill Road.

Approaching London, it intersects KY 363 at a roundabout before proceeding northwest toward I-75.

Just east of the interstate, it intersects Kentucky Route 192, which serves as a southern bypass of London.

The route terminates at US 25 and KY 80 adjacent to the county courthouse, although the road continues across US 25/KY 80 as East Fifth Street.
