Route description

KY 1973 begins at a junction with the concurrently running U.S. Route 25 (US 25) and US 421 near its interchange with Interstate 75 (I-75) in southeastern Fayette County. It then traverses the rural areas of eastern Fayette County while intersecting KY 418 and KY 1927, as well as US 60 (Winchester Road). It then goes over I-64 via an overpass without access to the Interstate, then crosses KY 57 and then a brief concurrent run with US 27 and US 68. After the concurrent run with US 27/US 68, it follows Iron Works Pike as KY 1973 turns to a northwesterly path to cross Russell Cave Road (KY 353) and Newtown Pike (KY 922). It then passes more horse farms and the Kentucky Horse Park before crossing I-75 and begins a brief concurrency with US 25.[2]

After US 25, the route enters Scott County, and continues northwest until its end at White Sulphur and US 460.[3]

gollark: In the UK I imagine that if you wanted to do maths at a cool™ university you would have to have decent grades at it, at least, and have some good explanation for why you want to study it.
gollark: Well, in that case, bees them.
gollark: I'm still not particularly sure about what sort of thing™ I want to do at university myself, which is somewhat troubling as I have to apply in a year and write a personal statement and such somewhat before then.
gollark: Yes, that is probably good for you or something then?
