Prior to 1917, the city's primary channel of transportation was the [[Green River (Kentucky)|Green River]]. However, in 1917, the river froze, leaving the city without supplies for two months. A subsequent period of road-building began, and in 1930, a road connecting Morgantown with [[Bowling Green, Kentucky|Bowling Green]] provided an alternate conduit for commerce.<ref name=enky/>

Morgantown is now served by [[Interstate 165 (Kentucky)|Interstate 165]] and it is along the proposed [[Interstate 67]] corridor. Via I-165 it is {{convert|23|mi}} southeast to Bowling Green and {{convert|48|mi}} north to [[Owensboro, Kentucky|Owensboro]] on the [[Ohio River]]. Other major roads serving the city include [[U.S. Highway 231]], [[Kentucky Route 70]], and [[Kentucky Route 79]]. [[Kentucky Route 403]] is a minor artery in and out of town.

The city does not have [[railroad]] service.
