The John James Audubon Parkway is one of two remaining toll parkways in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. This runs from Henderson to Owensboro.
The Tolls on this parkway are sceduled to be removed by 2007. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet hasn't determined the actual date that tolls will be removed. When the final payment on the bonds that were issued for the parkways is paid will be when the tolls go away. Kentucky borrowed $425 million in bonds to build the parkways in the 1960s and early 1970s. Currently, the toll is 50 cents each way on the Audubon Parkway. The Greater Owensboro Chamber of Commerce hopes that the Audubon and William H. Natcher parkways will be upgraded to interstate standards. Then when that happens that the Natcher Parkway will become part of I-66 and then I-166 from the Wendell H. Ford Western Kentucky Parkway to Owensboro. Hopes are that the Audubon Parkway will become I-169 along it entire length.*
