I-65 Central Corridor
| I-65 will close Monday, June 1, at 12:01 a.m. and will remain closed through Friday, July 31. The five-mile closure extends between the Watterson Expressway (I-264) and downtown Louisville (Jefferson Street).
A two-mile section of southbound I-65 is expected to reopen to two lanes of traffic by Wednesday, July 1. It stretches from University Boulevard to the Watterson Expressway (I-264).
After the closure, I-65 will be open to two lanes in each direction.
THROUGH TRAFFIC
- The signed detour is to I-264 (Georgia Davis Powers Expressway) on the west side of Louisville.
- The signed detour is the shortest distance, utilizes roadways with the most capacity, and creates the least traffic impacts.
- The route takes through traffic around the closure, minimizing impacts to local traffic.
LOCAL TRAFFIC
- Local detours include many different beginning and end points.
- Mapping apps will help drivers find the best route at their time of travel.
- The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is an Agency Partner with Waze, a free GPS navigation app with real-time traffic updates.
DOWNTOWN ACCESS - Downtown is accessed via the Jefferson Street exit from southbound I-65.
- Traffic leaving downtown can use the East Liberty ramp to access northbound I-65, I-64 and I-71.
- I-64 ramps at Third Street and Ninth Street also provide access to and from downtown.
