The summer closure of Interstate 65 through downtown Louisville begins in just over two weeks, and more closures are in effect this weekend as crews prepare for the work and the detour.
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District Five says one lane of southbound I-65 at the I-65/I-264 interchange and lanes on the off-ramp from eastbound I-264 to southbound I-65 will be closed from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
The five-mile stretch of I-65 between the I-264 interchange and Jefferson Street is set to close June 1, with traffic detoured on I-264 on the city’s west side. Learn more at www.i65centralcorridor.com.
Meanwhile, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District Four says traffic in LaRue County will be impacted by a partial bridge replacement project next week. Beginning Monday, the westbound side of the KY 210/North Lincoln Boulevard bridge over the north fork of Nolin River will be closed with the setting of barrier walls. Traffic heading towards Elizabethtown will have to follow the marked detour via Lincoln Parkway. Eastbound traffic should slow down, pay attention to signs, and anticipate work zone delays.
KYTC District Four says demolition work will take approximately three weeks, with construction through the summer and early fall. The westbound lane is expected to reopen to traffic by the first weekend of October. Follow KYTC District Four on social media for updates.
