In eastern Boone County, KY 536 runs through its most congested area—between I-71/I-75 and US 25, marking the end of its status as a purely residential road.

KY 237 forms and heads north as Gunpowder Road just west of this segment.

Zion Road continues east into Kenton County toward Independence, where it meets KY 1303 in the western outskirts.

The two routes overlap for a short distance to the northeast before separating at Visalia Road.

The route progresses northeast as Creektrace Road to Alexandria, meeting KY 915 before coming to an end at US 27.
