Prep work ahead of the summer closure of Interstate 65 through downtown Louisville has more overnight restrictions in place this week.
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District Five says the ramp from northbound I-65 to eastbound I-264, and Preston Highway to the eastbound I-264 on ramp near Durrett Lane, will be closed Tuesday night from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Southbound I-65 between Exit 131B of westbound I-264 and the on ramp to eastbound I-264, the eastbound lane of I-264 at the ramp to southbound I-65, and the westbound I-264 lane shift at the I-65 south ramp will be closed Wednesday and Thursday nights from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m.
KYTC District Five says the work is for temporary ramp widening to assist in easing congestion ahead of the summer closure. Drivers should stay alert, watch for signage, and slow down in work zones.
The KYTC says no closures are scheduled between April 24 and May 3 to accommodate Kentucky Derby events. Follow KYTC District Five on social media for updates, and visit www.I65centralcorridor.com for more information on the summer closure.
