Route description
KY 276 begins at an intersection with KY 274 (Rockcastle Road) northeast of Rockcastle, within Trigg County. It travels to the northeast, paralleling Hurricane Creek, and crosses over the creek. It passes Critmore and Standard cemeteries. It crosses over the creek again before it begins a concurrency with KY 778 (Will Jackson Road). The two highways travel to the north-northeast. When they split, KY 276 resumes its northeastern trek. It curves to the east-northeast and intersects KY 139 (Princeton Road). The two highways head concurrently to the north-northwest. They cross over Blue Spring Branch and enter Black Hawk, where they split on the Lyon County line. KY 276 turns right and travels to the east-southeast, immediately leaving Lyon County, and travels along the Caldwell County line. It curves to the southeast and enters Caldwell County proper and parallels Blue Spring Branch. The highway curves to the east and crosses over Long Pond Branch. It heads to the east-northeast and crosses over Interstate 24 (I-24). It then curves to the east-southeast and re-enters Trigg County. It passes Kenady Cemetery before curving to the southeast. It crosses over Kenady Creek before it intersects KY 128 (Wallonia Road). The two highways head concurrently to the southeast and cross over Muddy Fork. They enter Wallonia, where they split. KY 276 turns right, to the south-southwest. It then curves to the southeast and intersects KY 124 (Cerulean Road). The highway curves to the south-southeast and intersects the northern terminus of KY 958 (Montgomery Church Road). It then intersects the northern terminus of KY 6053 (Edwards Cemetery Road). It then has a second crossing of I-24 just before it intersects the southern terminus of KY 6052 (Swatzell Road). The highway curves back to the southeast and enters the extreme eastern part of Cadiz, where it meets its eastern terminus, an intersection with US 68/KY 80 (Hopkinsville Road). Here, the roadway continues as KY 1585.[1][2]
