Definition
Kentucky Route 130 (abbreviated KY 130) is a state‑maintained highway in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, United States.
Overview
KY 130 is part of Kentucky’s numbered state‑highway system, which is administered by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC). As a state route, it is subject to state funding, maintenance standards, and signage conventions. The highway’s specific alignment, length, and termini are designated by KYTC, but publicly available detailed information is limited.
