Page Content
Purpose
Identify and evaluate short and long-term improvements to increase capacity while reducing congestion, improve traffic operations by enhancing existing connectivity, improve travel time reliability, and address safety concerns for this heavily traveled corridor

In 2020, widening the study area portion of I-65 from six to eight lanes was the 16th ranked project of statewide importance by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.
Project Scope
I-65 from Preston Highway (KY 61) in Lebanon Junction to the Gene Snyder Freeway (I-265) in Louisville, Kentucky
Type of Project
Planning Study
*no funding has been allocated for future phases as this project was not included in the 2020 Highway Plan nor in the Recommended 2022 Highway Plan
