Bluegrass PArkway

Can anyone tell me how traveling this road is with a 43' fifth wheel.
If I decide to travel it would be between Elibethtown Kentucky and Lexington Kentucky.
Or would I be just as well to stay on I-65 to I-265 over to I-75. Only a few miles different.

    Thanks.
    So is the Bluegrass Parkway a toll road now?

    NO...It was paid off in 1991.

    X2.

    Kentucky has some great parkways. IMO, Kentucky is the poster child for paying for roads with tolls. Pennyrile, Western Kentucky, Natcher, Audubon, Bluegrass are all nice roads and mostly paid off with tolls. Even I64 in Louisville was once a toll road.

    The Blueridge is a great road. The scenery is fantastic. However, you may have problems finding parking for your rig at some of the attractions.

    When I travel the parkway, I expect to average about 25 mph for the day. We do many stops and get out to see just about everything. We never get far in a day.
    OP asked about Bluegrass Parkway, NOT Blueridge Parkway, totally different areas.
    Don't feel too bad, I often mistakenly post because I misread something. ;)
