U.S. Route 127 (US 127) in Kentucky runs 207.7 miles (334.3 km) from the
US 42 near Warsaw and US 25 in Florence before crossing the Ohio River via the Clay Wade Bailey Bridge
.
Route description
US 127 enters the state at
SR 42) and Kentucky Route 1076 (KY 1076). It passes through Albany with a business route and bypass. After that it briefly runs concurrently westward with KY 90 for 0.59 miles (0.95 km), then heads generally northward and crosses into Russell County, where it goes onto Wolf Creek Dam, which impounds Lake Cumberland, and passes State Resort Park. It passes through Jamestown with a business route and bypass, and then through Russell Springs, where it has a junction with the Cumberland Parkway. The highway then traverses Casey, western Lincoln, and Boyle Counties, including the communities of Liberty, Hustonville, and Danville, respectively. After Danville, where it has a bypass with US 150, it goes north to Harrodsburg (Mercer County), Lawrenceburg (Anderson County), both with bypasses and business routes, and then Franklin County, the home of the state capital city of Frankfort.[4]
After the capital, US 127 then passes through
Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio.[4]
History
In 1958, US 127's southern terminus was relocated from
Cincinnati, Ohio to Chattanooga, Tennessee
. The highway's extension into Kentucky and Tennessee resulted in the decommissioning of the following roadways:
- The original KY 239 from US 42 to Glencoe,
- KY 16 from Glencoe to its junction with US 227 (now KY 227), and
- KY 35 from Owenton to the Tennessee state line.[5][6][7][8]
