The Julian M. Carroll Purchase Parkway is a freeway in the U.S. state of Kentucky running from Fulton to Mayfield, for a length of 21 miles (34 km). It begins at the Tennessee state line concurrent with U.S. Route 51 (US 51) only a few yards from an intersection with US 45W, US 45E, and US 45 at its southern terminus, and at I-69 just prior to reaching the US 45 Bypass exit in Mayfield at its northern terminus. It is one of seven highways that are part of the Kentucky Parkway System. The parkway previously extended north from Mayfield to I-24 near Calvert City. However, in July 2018, this segment was replaced by an extension of I-69. The rest of the parkway south to the Tennessee border remains Future Interstate 69.
