History
From 1929 until 1953, the entire route was originally signed as Kentucky Route 75.[2] US 431 replaced the KY 75 designation in 1953, and remained on Frederica Street within the city, north of the US 60 Bypass (Wendell H. Ford Expressway),[3] until mid-2010, when the new KY 2831 designation replaced the US 431 alignment in the city. US 431 now ends at the junction with the former US 60 Bypass.[4]
