===Transportation===

====Roads====
*[[File:US 641.svg|28px]] [[US 641]], locally known as 12th Street, is the main highway in and out of the city. It connects with [[Interstate 69 in Kentucky|Interstate 69]] to the north, and [[Interstate 40 in Tennessee|Interstate 40]] to the south. The four-lane US 641 north of Murray is heavily traveled and can see well over 25,000 cars per day within Murray. Currently, US 641 from the south of Murray is a two-lane highway until it reaches the [[Tennessee]] [[Border|state line]]. However, the [[Kentucky Transportation Cabinet]] has made plans in its six-year highway plan to widen the highway to four lanes. The current two-lane version has become too saturated, due to the high number of citizens of Tennessee who come to Murray to save on [[sales tax]] and the large number of Murray residents who had to travel to Tennessee to buy packaged alcohol before the city voted fully wet in July 2012.<ref name="Murray wet">{{cite news| url=http://murrayledger.com/news/local/city-to-begin-its-alcohol-governance-discussion/article_ca3485c4-d58f-11e1-bdbb-0019bb2963f4.html | title=City to begin its alcohol governance discussion |first=Hawkins |last=Teague |newspaper=Murray Ledger & Times |date=July 24, 2012 |access-date=July 26, 2012}}</ref>
