The beginning of KY 620 is at the intersection of Cherry Blossom Way and Delaplain Road. The road changes numbers at that location from KY 3487, as Delaplain Road east of Cherry Blossom is under county maintenance. It follows Cherry Blossom Way west across I-75 to US 25, runs concurrently with US 25 southbound, then turns onto Burton Pike, becoming Biddle Road or Biddle Pike. There's another short southbound concurrency with US 25, then it turns onto Double Culvert Road, then turns onto Rogers Gap Road and ends at US 25. It runs for slightly more than 19 miles, all in Scott County.

KY 32 is another route in Scott County that does something similar. It was extended via new construction from its traditional end at US 25 north of Georgetown southeastward to US 62 near I-75. But even then, it ran as a loop northwestward from Georgetown before turning back east, which is its signed direction.

Are we counting marginal backtracks? If so, then every road with hairpin turns qualifies.
