Interstate 65 in Louisville will close between the Watterson Expressway (I-264) and downtown Louisville (Jefferson Street) from June 1- July 31 to speed progress on replacing 3 aging bridges.
The closure will save at least a year of construction restrictions, and a signed detour will be in place. Local street closures and ramp closures will also be needed.

Jefferson County: English Station Road Widening - Project 5-353.00

English Station Road widening project map.png

Purpose	The proposed project will provide an improved link between the existing three-lane segments immediately north and south of this unimproved two-lane section. This widening project will eliminate the current bottleneck, increasing capacity, mobility, and safety along the entire corridor. The objectives are to provide a wider roadway through this highly developed area, meeting community and driver expectations while accommodating existing and future developments. The project will incorporate multi-modal traffic facilities for pedestrians and bicyclists.
Project Scope	North English Station Road widening to three lanes between West Aiken Road to just past Avoca Road at the railroad crossing
Type of Project	Road Widening - Construction all tentative utility relocation and letting dates will be re-evaluated to correspond with available funding (provided in the upcoming enacted Highway Plan). Project amenities:* Shared-use (or multi-use) facilities for pedestrians and bicycles: Proposed 5-foot-wide sidewalk shown on the west side and 10-foot-wide multi-use path shown on the east side of English Station Road - See 'Links' section for more information Traffic signals are to be installed at two intersections: English Station Road and East Aiken Road with pedestrian crosswalks. English Station Road and Old Henry Road with pedestrian crosswalks. Fully upgrade the railroad crossing with crossing gates and warning signals.

Project Timeline	*As of Spring 2026 (SUBJECT TO CHANGE):** KYTC has acquired all necessary right-of-way, including control of access rights when applicable, as well as legal and physical possession. The final roadway design is near completion. The project is currently in the utility relocation phase: LG&E (Electric): Relocation work finished at the end of 2025. Six communication companies will follow the electric relocation with approximately 6 months of work. LG&E (Gas): will follow the communication companies and has anticipation to be completed in the Fall of 2027. LWCo (water) is included in the roadway contract. If the above relocations stay on their proposed schedules (as provided by the utility companies, KYTC anticipates advertising for letting in Winter 2027/Spring 2028. KYTC will monitor utility relocation progress and, if needed, will update the construction letting date at the appropriate time. Once construction begins, KYTC anticipates the project continuing over two construction seasons (depending on weather and supply availability).* *The above project milestone dates are subject to change due to changes in funding availability within the next Enacted Highway Plan.
Future Phases and Roadway Designations	English Station Road is classified as an urban arterial in eastern Jefferson County, Kentucky, within the City of Middletown. The project vicinity is bounded by US 60 (Shelbyville Road) to the south and I-265 to the east. English Station Road is currently a Louisville Metro roadway. After construction is complete, the road will be accepted into the State Primary Road System as KY 3084. KY 3084 will begin at the intersection with US 60 (Shelbyville Road), continuing along North English Station Road and Old Henry Road to the Oldham County Line. The entire corridor will measure 4.47 miles, with US 60 spanning from mile-point 0.0 to mile-point 4.47, which coincides with the Oldham County Line. Item No. 5-353.00 will be mile points 0.46 to 1.2 within the new KY 3084 designation. A future project, 5-367.20, is planned to continue KY 3084 to KY 362 in Oldham County.
