Kentucky by car
Kentucky is accessible by five Interstates:
I-71 and I-75 both enter the state from the north at Cincinnati. The two roads split in the Kentucky suburbs, with I-71 going to its southern end in Louisville and I-75 to Lexington, continuing past Richmond, Berea, and London.
I-64 runs from Ashland in the east to Louisville in the west, passing by Lexington and Frankfort on the way.
I-65 enters the state from Indiana and runs from Louisville to Bowling Green, continuing to the Tennessee state line.
I-24 from Paducah to Hopkinsville and the Fort Campbell area.
In addition, two more interstates are slated to go through Kentucky in the future. I-66, not connected to the existing highway of that number in Virginia, is proposed to be routed through the southern half of the state. The currently existing I-69 will be extended through Kentucky.
Kentucky is connected to many U.S. Highways:
US 27 runs from Covington south to Somerset.
US 127, also from Covington, runs through Frankfort, Danville and the Lake Cumberland area.
US 150 offers a connection between Louisville and I-75 between Lexington and Tennessee.
US 23 (Country Music Highway) connects Ashland with Virginia south of Pikeville.
US 60 bisects the state from the Mississippi River to Ashland, passing through Paducah, Henderson, Owensboro and Louisville before following I-64 the rest of its route.
US 68 begins just east of Paducah, running as largely an east-west route through Hopkinsville, Bowling Green and Glasgow. A short distance past Glasgow, the road takes a sharp turn to the northeast toward Harrodsburg, Lexington and Maysville.
