Route description
editKY 445 begins at an intersection with KY 8 (Mary Ingles Highway) in the northern part of Cold Spring, within the northern part of Campbell County. It travels to the northwest along the Ohio River along a former section of KY-8. After crossing under I-275, it turns west along River Road and continues into Fort Thomas. It passes the Tower Park Soccer Field and curves to the west-northwest. It begins a brief concurrency with KY 1120 (South Ft. Thomas Avenue). The two highways travel to the southwest and curve to the south-southwest. When KY 445 splits off, it travels to the west-northwest and meets its eastern terminus, an intersection with U.S. Route 27 (US 27; Alexandria Pike). This intersection is on the eastern edge of the Highland Country Club golf course.[1]
