History

Previously, KY 448 began at Kentucky Route 144 northwest of Buck Grove. However, in August 2016, Kentucky Route 313 was extended to replace most of the southern end of KY 448 up to the Brandenburg Bypass, truncating KY 448 to its current terminus. A small portion at the southernmost end was turned over to the county.
