Kentucky Route 1501 (KY 1501) is a 2.496-mile-long (4.017 km) state secondary highway in central Kenton County.

The highway begins at a steep hill, cut to bypass the old two-lane Hands Pike before rejoining with it at the top of the slope.

Continuing southeast, the highway winds past several suburban homes, subdivisions, and a private school as it moves toward its terminus at KY 16 (Taylor Mill Road) at a southeastern city limit of Covington.

[2][3] The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet includes the entire length of KY 1501 in the state secondary highway system.

The project will eliminate several sharp curves and a 13% grade south of KY 3716.
