A new interchange in Marshall County will open this week. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says the Julian Carroll-Purchase Parkway/Kentucky 348 near Benton is scheduled to open Friday afternoon.
The interchange will allow Interstate 69 to eventually extend south along the Purchase Parkway to Mayfield.
The new design changes the former cloverleaf to a more efficient, modern diamond design. The project cost $8.1 million.
Other interchange projects in Calvert City and Mayfield have a target completion date of July 1, 2018.
