US highway endpoint in Pineville, KY

1928-present

The current south end of US 119 at Pineville was first the south end of US 23, and then the south end of US 123 [i]. That route became part of a southward extension of US 119 in 1934, and this junction has marked the south end of that route ever since. There was not a standard "End" sign there, but the photo below shows the unusual sign that was posted approaching the junction with US 25E:
