The rule
Bicycles are prohibited on Interstate highways in Kentucky. Bicycles are prohibited on Kentucky Interstate highways under the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) controlled-access regulations. Bicycles remain permitted on conventional state and US routes (US-31, US-60, KY-15) unless an individual bridge or segment is signed prohibited.
What this means in practice
Stick to surface streets, US routes, state highways, and dedicated paths. If your route in Kentucky appears to use an Interstate, plan a detour before you start.
