I-169 is now designated in KY. The 3rd in the title is for the third I-169 that is proposed to exist.
Apparently I’m a fan of I-69.  Who knew.

where is this supposed to be?  i can't find a map of the routing.

The Breathitt Parkway from where I-69 turns west on the Western Kentucky down to its end at I-24. A good 3di for Nashville/Atlanta/Birmingham bound traffic.

should be even. I-x24 would have worked also.

RoadWarrior56

That section of the parkway needs more work than just the old toll booth interchange converted.  The pavement for about half the length of the roadway is the original concrete and in very bad shape.

This bill also introduced Interstate 57 in Arkansas. I don't like the numbering choice, but I am excited about the designation. Should be 469. (Not 269 due to a proposal for a eastern Mayfields, KY loop I heard of a while ago through a friend)

Where's the documentation? Is it found on the KYTC's site, or on AASHTO's SCOURN submissions page?

President Trump signed H.R. 244 into law last night that designates the Breathitt Parkway between I-24 and !-69 as I-169 (p. 663/708 of pdf):

Not sure if this is real or if SPUI is trolling again, but there was no need for any federal legislation for this. Every time the KKK or a similarly controversial organization has been denied the opportunity to adopt a highway by a state DOT, they've won court challenges. I remember a brouhaha over some organization adopting a stretch of highway in northern Kentucky. I can't remember which group it was, but I saw their sign on KY 20 last week. Someone had vandalized it.

Is the Audubon Parkway still planned to become an x-69 as well?

OK. I didn't realize it happened so soon.

Odd is better.  It leads away from I-69 (or I-24 for that matter) and doesn't have a chance of returning.

If they are going to give Kentucky's parkways Interstate designations, they should next give the remainder of the Western Kentucky Parkway an Interstate designation.

It's not real. Besides, Steve King is from Iowa.

Section 424:

QuoteSEC. 424. None of the funds made available in this Act may
be used to require a permit for the discharge of dredged or fill
material under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C.
1251, et seq.) for the activities identified in subparagraphs (A)
and (C) of section 404(f)(1) of the Act (33 U.S.C. 1344(f)(1)(A),
(C))

However, Section 423 almost sounds made-up...

QuoteSEC. 423. (a) None of the funds made available in this Act
may be used to maintain or establish a computer network unless
such network is designed to block access to pornography websites.

Section 425 deals with trying to use US-made steel and concrete, except for exemptions and loopholes for trying to get out of said ideals.

My option on that is to extend I-71 from Louisville and split it off at Elizabethtown, but then you have that section from Elizabethtown to Lexington of the Blue Grass Parkway that is by itself.

Wikipedia article.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_169_(Kentucky)

I read the Wikipedia articles for both I-169 and the Pennyrile Parkway.  Even though Trump signed a bill into law designating the Pennyrile between I-24 and the I-69/WK Parkway interchange as I-169, I think Wikipedia may be jumping the gun on the re-designation.  At a minimum, updates to route signage will need to be accomplished, and the FHWA may also (and very likely) stipulate that Kentucky must bring any substandard sections up to interstate standards  before putting up any I-169 signs.  I see a transition from the Pennyrile Parkway to I-169 taking several months optimistically, to several years in a worst-case scenario if major upgrades are required to complete the transition.

I can't remember the other exits north of there, but at least exit 12 for the north west bypass of Hopkinsville is one of those exits where they had a toll booth underneath the overpass, and will have to reconfigure to a diamond.
