It travels to the northeast and crosses over some CSX railroad tracks. Then, it has an interchange with Interstate 69 (I-69) and then curves to the north-northeast. Right after it leaves the city limits of Madisonville, it intersects the western terminus of KY 2281 (Carriage Lane). The highway crosses over Elk Creek and intersects the western terminus of KY 2338 (Carroll Gentry Road). It then intersects KY 862 (Charles Lenin Road).
