​Public Meetings​​​ and Hearings

• ​TWO ​Public Meetings to be held in Louisville on May 5 and 12 for the I-65 Central Corridor Improvement Project

• KYTC will host two informational meetings about the I-65 Central Corridor improvement project in Louisville and the upcoming I-65 closure. 

• ​Five miles of I-65 are scheduled to close between the Watterson Expressway (I-264) and downtown Louisville (Jefferson Street) by 12:01 a.m. on Monday, June 1. I-65 is expected to reopen to two lanes of traffic on Saturday, Aug. 1. ​The closure will save at least a year of additional restrictions and delays on I-65. 

• During this closure, three bridges will be replaced, sidewalks will be reconstructed and improved, and modernized lighting will be installed under and adjacent to the new bridges.

• The meetings will be open-house events, with a brief presentation at 6 p.m. Topics to be covered will include why the closure is needed, what to expect, how to prepare, and how to best get around during the temporary closure. The public can drop by at any time during the meeting to speak with representatives from KYTC and the project team.
