Directions to EKCEP Central Office in Hazard, KY
from Knoxville, TN    

 

If you are coming from Knoxville, follow this route to Hazard, KY:

  1. Take Interstate 75 northward toward Lexington and Cincinnati.
  2. Stay on I-75 until you reach the second London, KY, exit (Exit 41). Take
    this exit and turn right at the end of the exit ramp. This road soon turns
    into the Hal Rogers (formerly Daniel Boone) Parkway, which takes you past
    Manchester and on to Hazard.
  3. As you near Hazard you will pass through two traffic lights. Stay in the right lane
    and take the Hazard/Jackson exit (Exit 59) immediately after the second traffic light.
  4. At the traffic light at the end of the exit ramp, turn right. This puts
    you on KY 15 heading toward Hazard.
  5. Continue to go straight on KY 15 through three traffic lights.
  6. After the third traffic light, you will start down a hill. Get into the left lane
    as soon as possible. The downhill stretch turns into a sharp "buttonhook" turn.
    Stay in the left lane. There is a traffic light at the intersection at the bottom of the hill.
  7. At the traffic light at the bottom of the hill, turn left. You are now on North Main Street,
    running parallel to the river.
  8. You will soon see basketball courts on your right, along with a two-story
    stone tower. At this point, Memorial Drive branches off of Main and heads uphill to the left. The EKCEP Central Office is in the building at the corner of North Main and Memorial Dr., directly across Main from the stone tower. (The building is a four-story, red brick building
    with green awnings and shutters and some beige trim.)

    (behind the building) marked "Parking for Hazvest Building Only," or in the lot across
