Concrete repairs on Outer Loop in Jefferson County scheduled August 2-5

 

Louisville, KY (July 30, 2019) - The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists of concrete pavement repairs this weekend in two locations along KY 1065 (Outer Loop) in Jefferson County. This work will involve closure of an exit ramp on I-65. Contract crews will be removing and replacing some deteriorated sections of concrete.

The exit ramp from I-65 North to the Outer Loop (Exit 127) will be closed from 9 p.m. on Friday, August 2 until 5 a.m. on Monday, August 5. Crews will be replacing concrete pavement on the Outer Loop at the end of this exit ramp. Motorists should follow the signed detour via I-65 North to KY 1747/Fern Valley Road (Exit 127), access I-65 South and proceed to the Outer Loop.

Crews will also be working on the Outer Loop at the intersection with Grade Lane. Access from the Outer Loop to northbound Grade Lane will be closed from 7 p.m. on Friday, August 2 until 5 a.m. on Monday, August 5.

Southbound Grade Lane will be reduced to one lane at the intersection with the Outer Loop. This work is scheduled from 7 p.m. on Friday, August 2 until 5 a.m. on Monday, August 5.

Once the new concrete has been poured at these locations, the lane and ramp closures must remain in place while the concrete cures. Workers may not be present during this curing process.

The date and duration of this work may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen delays occur.  Visit goky.ky.gov for the latest in traffic and travel information in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.  You can also get traffic information for the District 5 counties at facebook.com/KYTCDistrict5 and twitter.com/KYTCDistrict5 .
