Drivers heading south on Interstate 65 this week should be aware of potential traffic due to an event in Bowling Green.
The National Corvette Museum is celebrating its 30th anniversary this weekend, and as part of the festivities the National Corvette Caravan will be arriving in Bowling Green. The museum describes the Caravan as “the world’s largest moving automotive event,” with regional caravans formed by Corvette owners from across the United States convening in Bowling Green.
With so many vintage cars heading for the area, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District Three says heavy congestion should be expected in the area around the museum. Interstate 65 around Exit 28, KY 446/Interstate Drive, KY 1402/Porter Pike, and U.S. 31W and U.S. 68/Louisville Road are expected to receive the heaviest extra traffic. The heaviest points of traffic are expected from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday, but the event runs through the weekend.
Motorists are encouraged to avoid the high-traffic areas if possible Wednesday. Law enforcement and KYTC personnel are planning on increasing their presence in the area.
