Current Traffic Impacts: ​

  • The I-64 West off-ramp to KY 53 (Exit 35) will be closed from 7 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 13, through 7 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 21. This closure will allow contract crews to complete necessary work in advance of an upcoming traffic shift on KY 53.

    Traffic is expected to shift onto the newly constructed KY 53 bridge over I-64 on or after Friday, Dec. 19. After the shift is in place, the I-64 West on-ramp from KY 53 will remain closed through Tuesday, Dec. 23.​

  • Overnight rolling roadblocks will occur on I-64 West between mile marker 33 (near KY 2861/Zaring Mill Road) and mile marker 35 (near KY 53/Mt. Eden Road) beginning at 7 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 15, through 7 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 16. The rolling roadblocks are necessary to allow contract crews to set beams for the I-64 bridge over Clear Creek.

    Motorists are encouraged to use alternate routes to avoid potential delays. Message boards are in place near the project area to alert drivers of upcoming rolling roadblocks. Drivers should not attempt to pass a rolling roadblock under any circumstances. These controlled slowdowns are necessary to protect crews working in the area.​
