# Kentucky Route 144

Kentucky Route 144 (KY 144) is a 95.325-mile (153.411 km) state highway running northeast from KY 603 in Owensboro, Kentucky to US 31W in Radcliff near Fort Knox

## History

The section from east of US 60 in Cloverport was originally Kentucky Route 64 (KY 64), but became part of KY 144 when I-64's course within Kentucky went under construction at some time between 1959 and 1963; this was done to comply with a state highway numbering policy, which prohibited duplication of highway numbers.
