Through Middlesboro.
Whitesburg to Hazard, get on the Hal Rogers parkway and it will take you right there.Quote:

I stay at an apartment in Lexington because I student teach at Paris High in Paris KY. I've been at student at Berea College since Fall 06.
I have tried about every way to get there.
Do NOT go through Hazard. I have tried it and it's the worst road ever. It winds a lot and lanes end a lot combined with the fact that Kentuckians have pretty much the worst drivers in the US. Going through Hazard is a mistake because that route is a Hazard.
Harlan is not any better.
If I were to suggest, go through Lee County, Middlesboro, Barbourville, and get on I75N in Corbin.
Take this from someone who is in Central Kentucky: Middlesboro is the best way. It may not necessarily be the quickest but it's the better road. Harlan actually takes longer and Hazard maybe about the same but because of how the road in Hazard is, sometimes you can add 30 minuites to an hour to your trip.
Don't go, its in KY.
thanks
def go through lee county.

Watch out for the Kentucky "highway speed shoulder pass" if you have to enter KY.
yep!^^^^^^^^^they are bad for that. Had one pass me on the shoulder in Pineville that way. I was traveling the speed limit and they passed me on the shoulder.
Gets my vote.Quote:

Also, Kentucky drivers love to sit at green lights.
Some of the intersections here in Lexington just have like a fork in the middle of the road to where you can only turn one way out and one way in and sometimes you have to U turn.
I use to travel 23north to Pound and turn up to South Fork. It brings you out in Cumberland and then travel to Harlan, Pineville and a shortcut to Williamsburg to I-75. I can't remember exactly,, but about 20 minutes or so to London. I love the backroads..
