Kentucky Route 104 is a 14.305-mile (23.022 km) state highway in southern Todd County, Kentucky.

Route description

KY 104 begins at the KentuckyTennessee state line north of Clarksville, where it continues southward as Tennessee State Route 48. From the state line, KY 104 heads on a northeasterly course to Trenton, where it has a brief concurrency with US 41. Leaving Trenton, KY 104 continues northeastward to end at its junction with Kentucky Route 181 just south of Elkton.

History

When Kentucky's state highway system was originally established in 1929, KY 104's current routing was signed as Kentucky Route 181. KY 104 originally went from a junction with U.S. Route 79 at Guthrie to its current northern terminus. That alignment is now part of KY 181, and KY 104 moved to its current alignment at some time between 1939 and 1954.[2] [3]
