Route description
KY 457 begins at an intersection with KY 84 (Stiles Road / Howardstown Road) east-northeast of Gleanings, within the southeastern part of Nelson County. It travels to the northwest and curves to the north-northeast. It then begins paralleling Sulphur Lick Creek. When the creek curves to the east-northeast, the highway crosses over it. It curves to the north-northwest and passes St. Vincent De Paul Cemetery. It curves to the north-northeast and enters New Hope, where it crosses over some railroad tracks of CSX. Immediately after leaving New Hope, the highway turns left onto KY 52 (New Hope Road). The two highways begin a short concurrency. They travel to the north-northwest and cross over Pottinger Creek. They wind their way to the north and split. KY 457 travels to the north-northeast and passes the New Hope Fire Department. It curves to the east-northeast and enters Marion County.[1] KY 457 curves to the northeast and enters Holy Cross, where it has an intersection with KY 49 (Holy Cross Road) and the northern terminus of KY 527 (North St. Francis Road).[2]
