PADUCAH, Ky. (Mar. 10, 2025) — In cooperation with the Tennessee Department of Transportation, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) District 1 is supporting a public meeting set for Thursday, March 20 to gather public input on the I-69 Interchange Re-configuration Project.

The project is approximately two miles in length and crosses the Tennessee/Kentucky state line, connecting the proposed Interstate 69 in Tennessee (currently U.S. 51) with Interstate 69 (formerly the Purchase Parkway) in Kentucky.  The preferred alternative generally follows the U.S. 51 alignment creating a new sweeping curve to the east near State Line Road and reconstructs the U.S. 51/U.S. 45E/U.S. 45W interchange at its current location.

The meeting is being held to provide the public an opportunity to provide comments regarding this proposed interchange re-configuration project. Representatives of TDOT will be available to provide information on various aspects of this proposed project.

The public meeting will be held March 20 from 5 to 7 p.m., CDT, at South Fulton Middle and High School, 1302 John C. Jones Parkway, South Fulton, TN 38257. It will be conducted in an open house format, allowing attendees to view exhibits, talk to TDOT staff and project team members and ask questions about the project. There will be no formal presentation.

Written statements and other exhibits to be included in the project transcript may be submitted within twenty-one (21) days after the meeting date to the following address: Project Comments, Tennessee Department of Transportation. Suite 700, James K. Polk Building, 505 Deaderick Street, Nashville, TN 37243-0332.
