Improvements
Interstate 64's Exit 185 was completed at KY 180 in 1965. KY 180 was replaced with a new four-lane section from its junction with US 60 to just north of I-64 in 1977. KY 180 formerly curved to the right just north of the intersection with I-64, then followed what is now KY 3291 past Boyd County High School to Cannonsburg Road, where it merged onto that road until its terminus at US 60.
The construction of a new diamond-shaped interchange at the Interstate 64/KY 180 Exit 185 was completed in fall of 2008 to improve safety and address traffic problems. It was the site of up to one accident per week before improvements were made. Previously KY 180 was two lanes south of the interchange and four lanes north of it, with one southbound lane turning into the I-64 West merging ramp, with a separate turning lane just to the south. The southern areas are now 3-lane.
