In the U.S. Commonwealth of Kentucky, Interstate 65 enters the state south of Franklin. It passes by the major cities of Bowling Green, Elizabethtown, and Louisville before exiting the state. ==Route description== Throughout its length, it passes Mammoth Cave National Park, Bernheim Forest, the National Corvette Museum and the Fort Knox Military Reservation. It junctions with the four parkways. The first major junction is with the William H. Natcher Parkway at Bowling Green, followed by the Louie B. Nunn Cumberland Parkway north of the city between Smiths Grove and Park City. At Elizabethtown, it has two more parkway interchanges with the Wendell H. Ford Western Kentucky Parkway and the Martha Layne Collins Bluegrass Parkway. Interstate 65 also has interchanges with I-265, I-264, I-64 and I-71. The widest stretch of Interstate 65 in its entirety is in Louisville at the Kentucky Route 1065 (Outer Loop), where the mainline is 14 lanes wide. It crosses the Ohio River into Indiana on the John F. Kennedy Memorial Bridge. Both of the Ford Motor Company truck plants in Louisville are accessible—the Louisville Assembly Plant, which currently builds the Escape SUV, is directly accessible from I-65, while Kentucky Truck Assembly, makers of the F250+ and Expedition/Navigator SUV, is accessed via I-265. Worldport, UPS' main worldwide air cargo hub and sorting facility, is located at Louisville International Airport, the seventh busiest cargo airport in the world and adjacent to Interstate 65 at MM 128-131. In Bowling Green, I-65 comes within proximity of a GM plant which makes the Chevrolet Corvette sports car, as well as the adjacent National Corvette Museum. The highway crosses between the Central and Eastern Time Zones at the border of Hart and LaRue Counties, respectively. Through 2016, the Ohio River Bridges Project is constructing a new 6-lane Cable-stayed bridge (eventually all-Northbound) at Louisville and rebuilding the I-65/I-64/I-71 convergence interchange just south of I-65's existing (1963) John F. Kennedy Memorial Bridge, to become 6-lanes all-Southbound after completion of the new bridge and the Kennedy Bridge re-hab. Another 4-lane Cable-stayed bridge is also under construction 12 miles upstream on the Ohio, to complete the I-265 loop around fast-growing urbanized Louisville. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Interstate 65 in Kentucky」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
