The western Nicholasville bypass, signed as US 27, was completed in 1986[5] with an interchange at KY 29 and a few at-grade intersections. The eastern bypass of Nicholasville will give commuters another option of bypassing the city, while serving the residents of the eastern half of Jessamine county.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet projects that when the highway opens, that 58,000 will use the western bypass and 45,000 will utilize the eastern bypass [6].
