The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) is in the design phase of a project to improve Interstate 264 (Watterson Expressway) in eastern Jefferson County. This project includes improvements to I-264 between the Westport Road and Interstate 71 interchanges as well as reconstruction of the US 42 (Brownsboro Road) interchange. I-264 will be widened to provide three basic through lanes in each direction, as well as auxiliary lanes between interchanges. Two-lane ramps will be added from I-264 eastbound to I-71 northbound and at the I-264 westbound off-ramp to Westport Road. A two-lane on-ramp will be added at US 42 to I-264 westbound.
A public meeting was held on July 24, 2014 to present
three alternatives for reconstruction of the I-264/US 42 interchange. Design plans were also shown for the widening of I-264, improvements to KY 22 and addition of turning lanes at US 42 and Rudy Lane. Approximately 270 people attended this meeting at Christ Church United Methodist, 4614 Brownsboro Road.
The public meeting displays, handout and questionnaire provided are to the right under Supporting Documents.
Videos of the traffic simulations shown at the public meeting can be found on our YouTube channel at
https://www.youtube.com/user/KYTCDistrict5 . There are ten videos simulating traffic for the morning and afternoon commutes in the year 2040 for the interchange alternates and the I-264 widening.
The public meeting questionnaire can be downloaded and mailed to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 5 Office, 8310 Westport Road, Louisville KY 40242. Comments will be accepted until August 8, 2014.
