KYTC Discusses Options for New Interchange on I-165 South of Owensboro

Posted: 25-Mar-2026 8:09PM CDT

This week, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) held a public meeting to discuss possibilities for building a new interchange on I-165, formerly the William H. Natcher Parkway, in southern Daviess county or northern Ohio. The KYTC presented five build and one non-build alternative. The build alternatives being studied are to construct a new interchange at one of the following routes that cross at I-165: at Masonville-Habit Rd, at KY 142, at Poplar Log Bridge Rd., at Crane Pond Rd., or at KY 764. Such an interchange, if constructed, is intended to provide better access to US 231 south of Owensboro. There is currently a 23 mile stretch with no exits at the north end of the Interstate.

Work to reduce the north end of Bowling Green's "Bypass" from two through lanes in each direction to one through lane in each direction with a continuous left turn lane will begin soon. This will match the arrangement already in place on the southern end of the route. The route was constructed as US 31W Bypass but is now US 31W Business.
