    Have a run to Park Avenue in Paducah, Ky. Just checking to see what you all feel may be the best route to take. I see there are a few different ways to go. I70 and then down or I79 and across. Any input would be appreciated.

    If you’re already in Morgantown, just roll down I-79 to Charleston and jump on I-64 west to Lexington. Jump off exit 115 in Lexington and make a left at the bottom of the ramp. Follow the signs for the BG Parkway down to I-65 then work yourself on across…..

    That’s the one I was thinking of using too. Didn’t know if any toll roads. Thanks.

    Last time I was on the Western Kentucky parkway was the day of 9/11/01. No toll roads that I know of, unless they put some toll on the WK Parkway that I don’t know about….

    No Kentucky parkways are no longer toll roads. Once they are paid for, they become free and maintained by highway department

    If you are very heavy and dont pull hills well. 70 might be better time. Otherwise hilly route will be nice
