Route Description
Trigg County
Kentucky Route 120 begins at the Tennessee state line just west of the Fort Campbell Military Reservation. Its first city it goes through is Cadiz, where it intersects the concurrent US Route 68 and Kentucky Route 80, as well as US 68’s business loop in downtown Cadiz. After entering Caldwell County, it then intersects Interstate 24 (I-24) at the point where Trigg County meets up with Caldwell and Lyon Counties. [2]
Caldwell and Crittenden Counties
At Princeton, KY 139 gets concurrent with US Route 62 (US 62) and Kentucky Route 91 (KY 91). KY 91 and 139 together turns right on the west side of town, and then intersects the Wendell H.

KY 139 turns right off of KY 91 and then goes due north to intersect [[Kentucky Route 70][ in northern Caldwell County, and then, KY 139 ends at a junction with Kentucky Route 120 in rural southeastern Crittenden County just west of the Tradewater River.
