Interstate 69 Northbound (MS/TN/KY)

This is the central portion of I-69, which is being extended southward all the way to Texas. For this part, we will go north on the central portion that exists in Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky. It's also the last section to be completed between Memphis and Houston, and it may be decades before that intermediate section is filled in. Right now, this is the northbound drive:


The exits in Mississippi are unnumbered, due in large part to I-69 being incomplete through the state. Plans call for it to cross the Mississippi River on a brand new bridge, with a possible spur into Cleveland.







I-69 continues north on a concurrency with I-55, then I-240 and finally I-40 before ending abruptly north of Memphis.

I-69 resumes northward along the Purchase Parkway towards Paducah.















Here, I-69 joins a concurrency with I-24 heading east.

This is the first exit after splitting off from I-24, this time on the Western Kentucky Parkway.







I-69 shifts to the Pennyrile Parkway and follows it north to Henderson.



















This is the temporary end of I-69. However, a new-terrain alignment is planned to allow for a crossing into Indiana via a new Ohio River bridge.
