[edit] Route description
Starting at a junction with KY 144 in Meade County, 259 soon crosses into Breckinridge County. The highway passes through Hardinsburg before bridging Rough River Lake.
KY 259 then passes into Grayson County, serving as a main road through the city of Leitchfield. The route intersects the Western Kentucky Parkway just south of Leitchfield, then continues on, crossing into Edmonson County just south of the Anneta community.

KY 259 then continues on through the city, continuing on a southerly track until it turns southeast at the Rhoda community. The route then continues on until it enters Warren County just south of Rocky Hill.
