Louisville, KY (July 10, 2019) - The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists of roadwork this week at the interchange of  Interstate 264 (Watterson Expressway) and Interstate 65 in Jefferson County. Contract crews will begin bridge joint replacement this week on the exit ramp from I-264 West to I-65 North (Exit 12). This ramp will be reduced to one lane on Thursday, July 11, and Friday, July 12 from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.

Also, lane closures will begin on KY 61 (Preston Highway) to replace joints at the bridge over I-264. Work will begin on Thursday, July 11, with KY 61 North being reduced to one lane for approximately two weeks. Lane closures will be in place during daytime and nighttime hours during this phase of construction.

This work is part of a project to perform repairs on several bridges on and over Interstates 65 and 264 in Louisville. Hall Contracting of Louisville was awarded a $2.3 million contract for this project. Construction began in early June and is scheduled for completion in November 2019.
