== City and county routes == * Clays Mill Road is a former state route now under city control. The northern terminus is at Harrodsburg Rd (access Harrodsburg Road north only), while the southern terminus is at Brannon Rd in Jessamine County. The road is mainly a 2 lane road, while some segments are 3 lanes with a center turn lane and at the intersections of Harrodsburg Rd, Wellington Way, and Man O War Blvd, the road is briefly 4 lanes. Design work for a new interchange on New Circle Road were planned beginning in the early 1980s, however, residential opposition nixed the project before the construction phase. Construction on the $4 million diamond interchange was to begin in 1986. The state of Kentucky had agreed to improve Clays Mill Road from Man o' War Boulevard to Pasadena Drive, and later agreed to improve the road from Pasadena Drive to Harrodsburg Road and from the Jessamine County line to Man o' War Boulevard. The project would call for four-lanes north of New Circle and five-lanes to the south. * Forbes Road, formerly KY 1723 until it was given to city control with the creation of current KY 1878. * Hays Boulevard is a four-lane divided highway with bike lanes and widewalks that connects KY 418 (Athens-Boonesboro Road) to KY 1927 (Todds Road). * Man o' War Boulevard acts as a southern beltway, however, it is a four-lane urban principal arterial with curbs and sidewalks. This was constructed with state funds but is under city control. The roadway serves the city south of U.S. 60, with its western terminus at Versailles Rd directly next to Bluegrass Airport and across from Keeneland Racecourse. The west end is about one mile from New Circle Rd. The eastern terminus is at Winchester Rd, just north of the Hamburg Area and Interstate 75. * Polo Club Boulevard is a two and four-lane route that will connect KY 1927 (Todds Road) to KY 1425 to the east of Interstate 75 and Man o' War Boulevard. It is partially completed, with the remaining segments under construction. * Wellington Way/ W Reynolds Rd is a residential road connecting U.S. 68 (Harrodsburg Rd) to U.S. 27 (Nicholasville Rd) in the southern part of the city. West of U.S. 68 it runs parallel to Palomar Centre, a major shopping centre in southwestern Fayette County. Between Harrodsburg Rd and Clays Mill Rd, Wellington Way is a 2 lane residential street. Between Clays Mill Rd and Nicholasville Rd, it becomes a four lane road running through the Wellington suburb. At its intersection with Keithshire Way, there is a round about, which the road then turns into W Reynolds Rd. From there, it passed Fayette Mall and intersects U.S. 27. The speed limit for the whole route is 35 mph.
