Kentucky Turnpike

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kentucky Turnpike was a toll road in the state of Kentucky. It was signed with a distinctive sign featuring a cardinal, the state bird of Kentucky.

It ran from the outskits of Louisville to Elizabethtown. Unlike most states, Kentucky law requires that tolls be removed when the original construction bonds are paid off. The road was thus the first of the state's extensive system of toll roads to be made a freeway. Unlike the other roads, which maintain their separate names when becoming toll-free, the Kentucky Turnpike signs were removed and the road today is simply signed as a part of Interstate 65. It is today almost impossible to find any traces of its former toll status; even the old trumpet interchanges characteristic of toll roads have been replaced with diamond interchanges characteristic of freeways.
