Kentucky Route 139 (KY 139) is a 31.122 miles (50.086 km) long north-south state highway that traverses three counties in western Kentucky. Its northern terminus is in rural southeastern Crittenden County, and its southern end is at the Tennessee state line separating Trigg County from Stewart County, Tennessee.

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. Ford Western Kentucky Parkway, which in Caldwell County, is part of the future Interstate 69 (I-69). 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.
