Directions to EKCEP Central Office in Hazard, KY
from Lexington, KY    

 

If you are coming from Lexington, you have two possible routes to get to Hazard, KY:

Route I:

  1. Take Interstate 64 eastward until you pass both Winchester exits.
  2. About 3 miles after the second Winchester exit, take the Bert T. Combs
    Mountain Parkway eastward. (The parkway begins at this interchange.)
  3. Take the Campton exit off of the Mountain Parkway. This puts you on KY
    15, which goes past Campton, through Jackson, under the Hal Rogers
    (formerly Daniel Boone) Parkway interchange, and on to Hazard.

Route II:

  1. Take Interstate 75 southward toward Richmond and Knoxville.
  2. Stay on I-75 until you reach the first London, KY, exit (Exit 41). Take
    this exit and turn left at the end of the exit ramp. This road soon turns
    into the Hal Rogers (formerly Daniel Boone) Parkway, which takes you past
    Manchester 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.


Directions to the EKCEP central office:
As described above, either Route I or II will leave you on KY 15 headed
toward Hazard. After you have passed under (Route I) or exited from (Route
II) the Hal Rogers Parkway, follow these directions:

  1. After you pass the Parkway intersection, you will continue to go straight
    on KY 15 through three traffic lights.
  2. 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.
  3. At the traffic light at the bottom of the hill, turn left. You are now on North Main Street,
    running parallel to the river.
  4. 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.)
  5. Parking is available in the lot adjacent to the building, or in the lot across
    Memorial Dr. (behind the building) marked "Parking for Hazvest Building Only,"
    or in the lot across Main St. from the front of the building.
  6. Take the outdoor front steps up to the second-floor lobby, then take the inside steps
