Future Interstate 169 reassurance marker. It's important to note that although I-169 in Kentucky was still signed as Future I-169 / Pennyrile Parkway at the time, it was designated in the middle of 2017 as part of the Interstate highway system. Therefore, I will refer to it as Interstate 169. (Photo taken 12/15/20).
