History
edit| Location | Cloverport–Radcliff |
|---|---|
| Existed | 1929–1962? |
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.
