Route description

[edit]

KY 190 begins at the Tennessee state line, south of Frakes along the WhitleyBell county line, where the highway continues as Tracey Branch Road. It travels to the north-northeast and curves to the north-northwest before traveling through Laurel Fork, where it passes a U.S. Post Office. It crosses over Wheeler Creek, intersects the southern terminus of KY 1595, enters Bell County proper, crosses over Laurel Fork, and intersects the eastern terminus of KY 3483 before it curves to the northeast. KY 190 enters Frakes. There, it passes a U.S. Post Office and Frakes Elementary School and intersects the western terminus of KY 3484 (Laurel Fork Road). After it leaves Frakes, it crosses Pine Creek. It then crosses over Clear Creek three times before it enters Henderson Grove. There, it intersects the northern terminus of KY 3485 (Henderson Hall Road). The highway enters Chenoa, where it also enters Kentucky Ridge State Forest. It intersects the northern terminus of KY 3492 (Correctional Drive), crosses over Fuson Branch, and passes Chenoa Lake. North of the lake, it leaves the state forest. A short distance later, KY 190 re-enters the forest. It has a fourth and then fifth crossing over Clear Creek. The road curves to the east and intersects the western terminus of KY 1491 (Snake Road). KY 190 curves to the southeast and has a sixth crossing of Clear Creek. It then curves back to the northeast and leaves the forest. It curves to the south and travels along the southern edge of Clear Creek Baptist Bible College. The highway curves to the east and crosses Hemlock Creek and Little Clear Creek. It then curves to the northeast and intersects the eastern terminus of KY 1491. KY 190 begins heading to the northeast. On the southeastern edge of Wasioto Winds Golf Course, it meets its eastern terminus, an interchange with U.S. Route 25E (US 25E).[1]
