Signs have been placed along the route in Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 1 and District 2 counties.

USBR 76 was established in 1976 as part of the country's bicentennial and is celebrating its 40th birthday this year. It was one of the first two U.S. Bicycle Routes established by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, the same organization that certifies the United States Numbered Highways system that includes routes such as US 60. The other original national bike route is USBR 1, which runs north-south through the Atlantic coast states.

KYTC District spokesman Keith Todd said a number of cyclists travel through the area along the route, mainly during the summer months.
