US Highway 641 North
This four-lane highway (five lanes in the city) provides access to the Purchase Parkway in Marshall County, about 18 miles north of Murray.  The Purchase Parkway intersects with Interstate 24 about 26 miles north of Murray.  The highway links Murray with Benton, Kentucky Dam, and Marion.

Kentucky 80
Calloway County's newest highway, Kentucky 80 is the southern east-west four-lane corridor for the state.  The highway was recently completed to US 641 from Aurora.  Currently construction is underway for the western portion, from US 641 to Mayfield.  The highway provides a partial (and eventual) four-lane route to Interstate 24 east (to Nashville, TN).

US Highway 641 South
The southern end of US 641 is a two-lane highway, linking Murray with Paris and Camden, TN, eventually reaching Interstate 40.  It travels through Calloway County's only other incorporated city, Hazel, about 8 miles south of Murray.  Plans are in the works to four-lane this highway.

Kentucky 121
Kentucky 121 North is a vital link between Murray and Mayfield.  Perhaps the most traveled two-lane highway in Calloway County, many commuters jam the roadway every day traveling to MSU or from Murray to Mayfield for work.  The new, four-lane Kentucky 80 will replace the traffic flow on Kentucky 121 North when it is completed in late 2009.  Kentucky 121 South goes into Tennessee, and intersects US 79 in Henry County near Kentucky Lake.

Kentucky 94
Kentucky 94 runs from KY 80 in Aurora to the KY/TN border south of Hickman, KY.  Kentucky 94 West is the link between Fulton and Murray, and is much less traveled than the eastern highway.  The new, four-lane Kentucky 80 has replaced the traffic flow on Kentucky 94 East.  This roadway is primarily for local traffic into Murray.
