Kentucky Route 2903 is a former state highway that stretched from KY 418 (Athens-Boonesboro Road) to US 60 (Winchester Road) east of Man o' War Boulevard. It was also named the Walnut Hill-Chilesburg Road. Most of the route was a narrow two-lane rural route with no shoulders and featured numerous 15 mph (24 km/h) curves. With increased suburban development and commuter traffic, especially those wishing to bypass the Hamburg Pavilion shopping complex, the road was literally cut in half. The route was disjointed at Walnut Hill Station, Kentucky at the former Chesapeake and Ohio Railway crossing with cul-de-sacs at both sides. This aerial shows the disjointed road, along with the new route name that was applied after the separation.
In 2005, construction was completed on what is now four-lane Hays Boulevard that bypassed much of KY 2903 from KY 418 to KY 1927 (Todds Road).
Ownership transferred from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet to the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government on May 8, 1989.
