KY 2052 is named Shepherdsville Road for almost the entirety of its route, turning right onto Hikes Lane for its last .13 miles (0.21 km).

At this point, the route heads past a mix of homes and commercial establishments, coming to an intersection with KY 1747.

The route becomes a four-lane divided highway as it comes to an intersection with the southern terminus of KY 1703.

The road passes over a Norfolk Southern railroad line and runs between industry to the west and homes to the east.

The route curves to the northwest before it turns northeast to follow Hikes Lane.
