Kentucky Route 3005 serves as a northern bypass of Elizabethtown. Locally, it is known as Ring Road. It originates outside the western limits of Elizabethtown at an interchange with Western Kentucky Parkway. The road then takes a wide circuit to the north of the city, eventually entering the city limits. Its eastern terminus is at U.S. 62, here known as Mulberry Street, within the city limits and approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) west of Interstate 65.
Efforts are underway to extend the road to an interchange with Interstate 65.
Route description
KY 3005 begins at the Western Kentucky Parkway southwest of

The road comes to an intersection with KY 251 and makes a turn to the south, passing through areas of residences and businesses. KY 3005 comes to its eastern terminus at an intersection with US 62/KY 61 in the eastern part of Elizabethtown. The State of Kentucky is developing plans to extend Ring Road on the south side of Elizabethtown west to I-65 and US 31W.[1][2]
