The route originates at a junction with KY 55 in
Finchville and is called Buck Creek Road until it meets
US 60 in
Simpsonville. From Finchville, the route heads westward until it meets Clark Station Road, where it turns north toward Simpsonville. KY 1848 meets
KY 1399 where the
Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass are located and widens to four-lanes. It then crosses
I-64 and narrows to two-lanes north of the interstate. However, plans are to widen the road to four lanes all the way to US 60 to accommodate increased traffic due to growth in Simpsonville. KY 1848 continues north where it overlaps with US 60 for and passes through the heart of town with multiple businesses lining the roadway. KY 1848 then turns north out of Simpsonville and becomes Todds Point Road until it meets its northern terminus,
KY 362 roughly north of Simpsonville. ==History==
