It heads southeast running by Little Sandy River and passing by Boyd County High School, as well as a subdivision before forming a junction with I-64.

The Interstate 64 interchange previously featured higher-than-average accident levels.

The four-lane divided highway narrowed from four lanes to two just shy of the interchange.

Coupled with a sub-standard ramp system for Interstate 64 that featured short and steep ramps, and a loop that was not controlled by a traffic signal, it produced terrible consequences.

Due to the increased volume, the interchange was reconstructed as a conventional diamond, and KY 180 was widened to four lanes divided from its present four-lane terminus to just shy of KY 3, its southern terminus.
