Kentucky Route 9007 (KY 9007) is a 2.1-mile-long (3.4 km) four-lane limited-access highway, and was the unsigned designation for the entirety of the former William H. Natcher Parkway.
[2] KY 9007 functions as a connector, providing a bypass for traffic to utilize to avoid driving into Bowling Green itself by directly connecting I-165 to US 231.
KY 9007 begins at an intersection with US 231 (Scottsville Road) south of Bowling Green and heads west as a four-lane divided highway.
[3] The highway that is now signed as KY 9007 opened in 2011 as a 2.1-mile (3.4 km) extension of the William H. Natcher Parkway, a freeway running from Bowling Green to Owensboro.
In October 2018, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) reached an agreement with the Federal Highway Administration to re-designate the parkway as I-165, and signs were posted in March 2019.
