Route description

The highway follows the dual Ben Williamson Memorial Bridge (southbound) and Simeon Willis Memorial Bridge (northbound) crossings the Ohio River from Ashland, Kentucky, into Lawrence County, Ohio.

From there, the northbound direction turns southeasterly in Coal Grove to follow a ramp that connects to US 52 eastbound, extending the full length of the highway to 0.31 miles (0.50 km).[2]
