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

  1. Take KY 80/US 23 northwestward toward Prestonsburg.
  2. Where KY 80 and US 23 split (about 3 miles before you reach Prestonsburg),
    take the exit for KY 80 toward Hazard.
  3. Take the Hazard/Jackson exit (Exit 59) off of KY 80. At the end of the ramp, turn right.
    This puts you on KY 15, which goes into Hazard.
  4. Once you are beyond the traffic signals at the KY 80/KY 15 interchange,
    continue to go straight on KY 15 through three more traffic lights.
  5. After the third traffic light, you will start down a hill. Get into the left lane as soon

    There is a traffic light at the intersection at the bottom of the hill.
