Route description

KY 1508 starts at a three-way junction at KY 109 west of the city of Sturgis and travels southwestwards. The road travels through farmland, and it intersects Tradewater Road, which leads to state maintained KY 923. It then borders the Big Rivers Wildlife Management Area and State Forest,[2] with one entrance at Locust Lick Road.[1][3] The road then crosses over an unnamed stream near Lover's Lane Road.[1] At Caseyville Cemetery Road, the state forest no longer borders the route. KY 1508 reaches the center of the unincorporated area of Caseyville near Hill Street.[2] A source of sand and gravel for KYTC Division of Materials is located off Bell Tip Road.[1][4]

History

Since 1939, Caseyville was connected to the state highway system by KY 130, which was also concurrent with KY 85 north of the town.[5][6] By 1957, the section of KY 130 from Caseyville to KY 85 was paved in asphalt,[6][7] and KY 85 was renumbered to KY 109 about five years later.[7][8] KY 130 was truncated to KY 109 near Henshaw in 1966,[9][10] and the KY 1508 designated appeared on the state map the year after.[10][11] The route was officially designated on September 26, 1980, as part of Official Order 85592.[12] By 2005, KY 1508 was extended northwards to a new terminus at KY 109 near Dekoven.[13][14]
