Or southbound and follow US 31W South to Elizabethtown and I-65. In Elizabethtown, you can also reach the Blue Grass and Western Kentucky Parkways for access to other areas of Kentucky.

Connect

By phone

Most telephone numbers in Meade County consist of +1 270 plus a seven-digit number, but a second area code (+1 364) was overlaid onto the entire 270 area in February 2014. A local or in-state telephone call now requires all 10 digits of the local number be dialed (omitting just the leading +1 from a local landline call).

Signage on many established businesses may still display the original seven-digit numbers; dial 270 before these if no area code is indicated.

Note that Muldraugh is served by area code 502 instead of 270/364. That community is completely surrounded by the Fort Knox Army base, which is also in area code 502. No overlay has yet been imposed on that area, so 7-digit local landline dialing is still allowed.
