Kentucky supplemental roads and rural secondary highways are the lesser two of the four functional classes of highways constructed and maintained by the
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, the state-level agency that constructs and maintains highways in
Kentucky. The agency splits its inventory of state highway mileage into four categories:[1]
The State Primary System includes
Interstate Highways,
Parkways, and other long-distance highways of statewide importance that connect the state's major cities, including much of the courses of Kentucky's
U.S. Highways.
The State Secondary System includes highways of regional importance that connect the state's smaller urban centers, including those county seats not served by the state primary system.
The Rural Secondary System includes highways of local importance, such as farm-to-market roads and urban collectors.
Supplemental Roads are the set of highways not in the first three systems, including frontage roads, bypassed portions of other state highways, and rural roads that only serve their immediate area.
The same-numbered highway can comprise sections of road under different categories. This list contains descriptions of Supplemental Roads and highways in the Rural Secondary System numbered 400 to 499 that do not have portions within the State Primary and State Secondary systems.
Kentucky Route 400 is a 1.377-mile-long (2.216 km) supplemental road in the city of
Oak Grove in southern
Christian County. The highway begins at
US 41 Alt. (Fort Campbell Boulevard) at the eastern edge of
Fort Campbell just north of the
Tennessee state line. KY 400 heads east along State Line Road, which runs immediately north of the state line. The highway turns north away from the state line and veers east again to its terminus at
KY 115 (Pembroke–Oak Grove Road).[1][2] The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet established KY 400 through a March 30, 1987, official order. The route was added as a rural secondary highway; however, the highway was reclassified as a supplemental road at an unknown date, returned to the rural secondary system through an October 26, 2004, official order, and returned to the supplemental road system after a December 9, 2010, official order.[4]
Kentucky Route 403 is a 16.031-mile-long (25.799 km) route. KY 403 extends 16.759 miles (26.971 km) from US 231 near
Woodbury north to the end of state maintenance near the Green River. KY 403 begins at US 231 (Bowling Green Road) south of
Morgantown and southwest of Woodbury. The highway heads northeast as Woodbury Loop, which crosses over l-165 on its way to the city of Woodbury. KY 403 enters town from the west, turns north three blocks, and turns west and exits the city to the northwest. The highway crosses the Black Swamp Branch of the
Green River and Renfrow Creek on its way to the city of Morgantown. Until March 1, 2021, there was a 0.874-mile-long (1.407 km) portion in
Ohio County that was a supplemental road that ran from the Green River north to
US 231 near
Cromwell.
KY 403 enters the city on Porter Street. The route then turns north onto Main Street, which carries US 231 and
KY 79. At G L Smith Street, the three
concurrent routes turns west while Main Street continues as
KY 2161. At the west end of downtown, the three highways have an oblique intersection with
KY 2162, which heads east as Ohio Street and west as Logansport Road. At G L Smith Street's three-legged intersection with Veterans Way, KY 403 turns south onto Veterans Way to run concurrently with
KY 70 for one block; KY 70 joins US 231 and KY 79 on G L Smith Street. One block to the south at the west end of KY 2162, KY 403 turns west onto Logansport Road. On its way to
Logansport, the highway crosses
I-165 and meets the east end of

Kentucky supplemental roads and rural secondary highways are the lesser two of the four functional classes of highways constructed and maintained by the
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, the state-level agency that constructs and maintains highways in
Kentucky. The agency splits its inventory of state highway mileage into four categories:[1]
The State Primary System includes
Interstate Highways,
Parkways, and other long-distance highways of statewide importance that connect the state's major cities, including much of the courses of Kentucky's
U.S. Highways.
The State Secondary System includes highways of regional importance that connect the state's smaller urban centers, including those county seats not served by the state primary system.
The Rural Secondary System includes highways of local importance, such as farm-to-market roads and urban collectors.
Supplemental Roads are the set of highways not in the first three systems, including frontage roads, bypassed portions of other state highways, and rural roads that only serve their immediate area.
The same-numbered highway can comprise sections of road under different categories. This list contains descriptions of Supplemental Roads and highways in the Rural Secondary System numbered 400 to 499 that do not have portions within the State Primary and State Secondary systems.
Kentucky Route 400 is a 1.377-mile-long (2.216 km) supplemental road in the city of
Oak Grove in southern
Christian County. The highway begins at
US 41 Alt. (Fort Campbell Boulevard) at the eastern edge of
Fort Campbell just north of the
Tennessee state line. KY 400 heads east along State Line Road, which runs immediately north of the state line. The highway turns north away from the state line and veers east again to its terminus at
KY 115 (Pembroke–Oak Grove Road).[1][2] The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet established KY 400 through a March 30, 1987, official order. The route was added as a rural secondary highway; however, the highway was reclassified as a supplemental road at an unknown date, returned to the rural secondary system through an October 26, 2004, official order, and returned to the supplemental road system after a December 9, 2010, official order.[4]
