Transportation
 Western
Kentucky is connected by several major highways, two rail systems and a
riverport. The Julian Carroll-Purchase Parkway and U.S. Highway 51 in TN are the future
corridor for Interstate 69, estimated completion by 2015. These 4-lane
highways provide excellent connections to several Interstate highways in the
region. Once fully completed, I-69 will directly connect Canada to Mexico
through the United States.
