Kentucky Route 118

Kentucky Route 118 (KY 118), also known as the Hyden Spur and the Tim Couch Pass, is a 3.524 mile (5.671 km) long state highway in southeastern Kentucky, running entirely in Leslie County.

The route originates at exit 44[disputed – discuss] of the Hal Rogers Parkway near the unincorporated community of Thousandsticks, and connects with US 421 in the county seat of Hyden.

Shortly after exiting the parkway, the road climbs a large hill for roughly a mile (1.6 km).

The last mile into Hyden is a 7% downhill grade, with a runaway truck ramp near its end at US 421.

The road is also known as Tim Couch Pass, after the former University of Kentucky and NFL quarterback, who is a Hyden native.
