History

The route once extended south to U.S. Route 27 via Red Mile Road and Virginia Street.
On November 16, 2017, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and the Lexington-Fayette County Urban Government reached an agreement to swap several streets in the Lexington metro area. KY 1723 was turned over to the city on March 16, 2018, resulting in its decommission. Also, US 27 was rerouted over Virginia Street that day. The section of US 27 on Upper Street and Bolivar Street was given to the city of Lexington.
