Route description
KY 2052 begins at an intersection with KY 1065 in Louisville, heading north on Sheperdsville Road, a five-lane road with a center left-turn lane. The road passes through residential neighborhoods before crossing a CSX railroad line. At this point, the route heads past a mix of homes and commercial establishments, coming to an intersection with KY 1747. KY 2052 passes a few businesses before intersecting KY 864 and continuing north into industrial areas, where it passes to the west of General Electric Appliance Park. The route becomes a four-lane divided highway as it comes to an intersection with the southern terminus of KY 1703. Following this intersection, KY 2052 gains a center left-turn lane again as it continues past more industry before running between residential neighborhoods to the west and industrial establishments to the east. The road passes over a Norfolk Southern railroad line and runs between industry to the west and homes to the east. The route curves to the northwest before it turns northeast to follow Hikes Lane.
