US Highway
641 North
This four-lane highway (five lanes in the city) provides
access to the Purchase Parkway in Marshall County, about 18 miles north
of Murray. The Purchase Parkway intersects with Interstate 24
about 26 miles north of Murray. The highway links Murray with
Benton, Kentucky Dam, and Marion.
Kentucky 80
Calloway County's newest highway, Kentucky 80 is the southern
east-west four-lane corridor for the state. The highway was
recently completed to US 641 from Aurora. Currently
construction is underway for the western portion, from US 641 to
Mayfield. The highway provides a partial (and eventual)
four-lane route to Interstate 24 east (to Nashville, TN).
US Highway 641 South
The southern end of US 641 is a two-lane highway, linking Murray with
Paris and Camden, TN, eventually reaching Interstate 40. It
travels through Calloway County's only other incorporated city, Hazel,
about 8 miles south of Murray. Plans are in the works to
four-lane this highway.
Kentucky 121
Kentucky 121 North is a vital link between Murray and Mayfield. Perhaps
the most traveled two-lane highway in Calloway County, many commuters
jam the roadway every day traveling to MSU or from Murray to Mayfield
for work. The new, four-lane Kentucky 80 will replace the traffic
flow on Kentucky 121 North when it is completed in late 2008. Kentucky
121 South goes into Tennessee, and intersects US 79 in Henry County
near Kentucky Lake.
Kentucky 94
Kentucky 94 runs from KY 80 in Aurora to the KY/TN border south of
Hickman, KY. Kentucky 94 West is the link between Fulton and
Murray, and is much less traveled than the eastern highway.
The new, four-lane Kentucky 80 has replaced
the traffic flow on Kentucky 94 East. This roadway is primarily
for local traffic into Murray.
