Route description
[edit]KY 224 begins at a junction with U.S. Route 62 (US 62) in Clarkson, in Grayson County. It also has a junction with the Wendell H. Ford Western Kentucky Parkway at exit 112. KY 224 continues eastward to Millerstown, where it intersects KY 479 and then crosses the Nolin River into Hart County. The highway briefly runs through the northwesternmost part of Hart County, and enters southern Hardin County about three miles (4.8 km) later and intersects US 31W (Dixie Highway) at Upton.
