Before the construction of the
TVA-operated
Paradise Fossil Plant, KY 176 went straight through the then-existing town of Paradise, and crossed the
Green River into
Ohio County via a ferry boat. KY 176 then turned to end with another junction with US 62 just east of
Rockport, Kentucky. The section of road east of the river has long since been turned over to the maintenance of the Ohio County Road Department in 1964. ==Major intersections==
