Week of Sunday, July 13: ​
​

  • I-64 East will be closed from 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 15, through 1 a.m. Wednesday, July 16, at mile point 34.9. Motorists will be diverted via flagging measures to take Exit 35 to reconnect with I-64 West.

  • I-64 West will be closed from 7 p.m. Thursday, July 17, through 1 a.m. Friday, July 18, at mile point 35.4. Motorists will be diverted via flagging measures to take Exit 35 to reconnect with I-64 East.
    ​
  • The existing I-64 East on-ramp from KY 53 will be closed beginning at 8 p.m. Thursday, July 10 (with the exception of the full interstate closure for eastbound traffic on Tuesday, July 15. Motorists will be diverted to take the ramp to reconnect with I-64 East.) Motorists should plan to take the temporary entrance ramp from KY 53 to reach I-64 East. The closure of the existing ramp is necessary for contract crews to reconstruct the existing cloverleaf ramp to a diamond interchange. Traffic shifts on KY 53 will also be required to complete this work. These traffic control measures are expected to remain in place through the Fall of 2025.
  • I-64 East will be reduced to one lane from mile marker 28 (near KY 1848/Buck Creek Road) to mile marker 32 (near KY 55/Taylorsville Road) beginning at 7 p.m. on Friday, July 11, through 5 a.m. Monday, July 14. The lane closures are necessary for contract crews to perform base failure repairs along the interstate.

  • Daily Rolling Roadblocks – Blasting Operations (I-64 East and West - MP 36 to MP 37)

    Beginning Wednesday, July 9, daily blasting operations will take place on I-64 East and West between mile points 36 and 37. Rolling roadblocks will occur between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.  Traffic may be slowed or stopped for up to 15 minutes during blasting operations. Motorists should expect travel delays and consider alternate routes.​​​

  • Traffic is currently shifted to the outside shoulders on I-64 East and West from mile point 32.29 to mile point 38.3 as contract crews continue work in the middle lanes as part of the widening of the interstate. 

  • ​Contract crews are currently reconstructing the KY 2861 (Zaring Mill Road) bridge over I-64 following its demolition in early May.
