Kentucky Route 1247 (KY 1247) is a 41.340-mile-long (66.530 km) secondary

state highway in southeast-central Kentucky. It traverses Pulaski and Lincoln counties. The highway was formerly signed as U.S. Route 27

(US 27).

Route description

KY 1247 starts at a major interchange-style junction at

KY 80 Business

first, and then the main KY 80 alignment.

Beyond that point while traversing the communities of

KY 328 is the only other route that KY 1247 runs concurrently with at one point in southern Lincoln County.^[3]

History

Most of KY 1247's current alignment north of Somerset was the original alignment of US 27 until the 1960s, when a streamlined alignment of US 27 was built in Lincoln and northern Pulaski County.

Since 2015, KY 1247 is now accessible from a new interchange of the recently extended Louie B. Nunn Cumberland Parkway.
