Kentucky supplemental roads and rural secondary highways are the lesser two of the four functional classes of highways constructed and maintained by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, the state-level agency that constructs and maintains highways in Kentucky. The agency splits its inventory of state highway mileage into four categories:[1]
The State Primary System includes Interstate Highways, Parkways, and other long-distance highways of statewide importance that connect the state's major cities, including much of the courses of Kentucky's U.S. Highways.
The State Secondary System includes highways of regional importance that connect the state's smaller urban centers, including those county seats not served by the state primary system.
The Rural Secondary System includes highways of local importance, such as farm-to-market roads and urban collectors.
Supplemental Roads are the set of highways not in the first three systems, including frontage roads, bypassed portions of other state highways, and rural roads that only serve their immediate area.
The same-numbered highway can comprise sections of road under different categories. This list contains descriptions of Supplemental Roads and highways in the Rural Secondary System numbered 700 to 799 that do not have portions within the State Primary and State Secondary systems.
Kentucky Route 702 (KY 702) is a 2.855-mile-long (4.595 km) supplemental state highway in southwestern Elliott County that runs from a point along Neal Howard Creek Road southwest of Little Sandy to Kentucky Route 7 at Little Sandy.

KY 44 heads south along Mount Eden Road and west along Southville Pike, KY 53 heads north along Mount Eden Road, and KY 714 heads east along Hempridge Road. KY 714 meets the eastern end of KY 2866 (Woodlawn Road) and curves north to Hemp Ridge, where the route crosses a tributary of Guist Creek and an R.J. Corman Railroad Group line. The highway crosses over I-64 with no access and meets the eastern end of KY 1790 (Hooper Station Road) near Hooper before reaching its northern terminus at US 60 (Frankfort Road) south of Guist Creek Lake and west of Clay Village.[1][16][17]

Along the way, the routes have two junctions with KY 818 and a diamond interchange with I-24. At the KY 93–KY 293 junction, KY 730 also meets the eastern end of KY 1055. KY 730 heads north along KY 93 and splits west at the south city limit of Eddyville.

The highway parallels the Barren–Metcalfe county line to its terminus at KY 677 at the Barren–Hart county line very close to the Barren–Metcalfe–Hart county tripoint. KY 677 heads north onto Hart County and southeast into Metcalfe County.[1][38][39]

The highway begins on Mine 18 Road at the boundary of Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area. KY 742 heads south and curves back north and crosses Roaring Paunch Creek. The highway passes through Hickory Grove and intersects KY 741 near its southern end before reaching its eastern terminus at KY 1651 at Revelo.[1][41][42]
Kentucky Route 743 is a 12.914-mile-long (20.783 km) rural secondary highway in northeastern Warren County and southern Edmonson County.
