Interstate 64 ramp closures in Jefferson County to begin July 14
Louisville, KY (July 6, 2018) - The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) District 5 Office advises motorists of upcoming ramp closures on Interstate 64 at the interchange with Interstate 264 (Watterson Expressway) in eastern Jefferson County. One ramp will be closed overnight and another ramp will be closed for 30 days.
The exit ramp from I-64 West to I-264 West (Exit 12) will be closed from 9 p.m. on Saturday, July 14 until 7 a.m. on Sunday, July 15. Contract crews will be installing barrier wall for the construction project widening this ramp from one lane to two lanes. Motorists will be detoured via I-264 East to Westport Road (Exit 21), where they can turn left at the bottom of the ramp and then access I-264 West.
In addition, the exit ramp from I-64 East to I-264 West (Exit 12) will be closed at 9 p.m. on Saturday, July 14. This ramp will be closed for 30 days to allow for construction of the additional lane on the ramp from I-64 West. A signed detour will be in place via Cannons Lane (Exit 10) to Dutchman's Lane to Taylorsville Road to I-264 West.
This project began in June with work at the I-264/Breckenridge Lane interchange. The exit ramp from I-264 West to Breckenridge Lane North (Exit 18B) is also being widened to two lanes.
Hall Contracting of Kentucky Inc. was awarded this contract in the amount of $9.7 million. The entire project will take two construction seasons to build and is scheduled for completion in November 2019.
The date and duration of this work may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen delays occur.
