Route description
The highway originates in northwestern Woodford County at a junction with KY 1659 at Millville. It then goes though parts of southeastern Franklin County, where it runs concurrently with U.S. Route 60 (US 60) for 0.363 miles (0.584 km) before KY 1681 returns to Woodford County, under the alternate name Old Frankfort Pike. This stretch of road was part of the original thoroughfare between Frankfort and Lexington. [2]
The highway runs through mainly rural areas of Woodford County, including the point where it intersects US 62. It enters Fayette County (Metro Lexington), and then intersects New Circle Road upon entry into the city. It ends at a junction with KY 1928 (Jefferson Street) in downtown Lexington near the Mary Todd Lincoln Home and Rupp Arena.[3]
