I-Move Kentucky

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) is working on a project aimed at improving safety and relieving congestion along three heavily traveled corridors in the Louisville area: I-71, I-265, and I-64. I-Move Kentucky as the project is called seeks to address several of the state's most significant transportation needs based on the 2018 Strategic Highway Investment Formula for Tomorrow (SHIFT) rankings. All four parts of the project described below are scheduled to be worked on simultaneously and completed by the end of 2023.

I-265 Widening - this is the top priority statewide per the SHIFT ranking. I-265 will be widened to the center (staying within existing KYTC right-of-way) to add a 12-foot lane of traffic in each direction. This will create a total of six lanes between Taylorsville Road and I-71 for the almost 90,000 vehicles a day that travel this roadway.

I-71/I-265 Interchange Improvements - a collector-distributor lane (which allows vehicles to navigate ramps separate from mainline traffic) will be created on southbound I-71 to improve safety and ease ramp movements to and from I-265. This part of the project has a mandatory completion date of December 31, 2020.

I-71 Widening - like the Gene Snyder Expressway, this interstate will be widened to include a 12-foot lane of traffic in each direction creating a total of six lanes between I-265 and KY 329 (the Crestwood/Pewee Valley exit). Widening will be mixed between the center and outside of existing lanes, but will stay within KYTC's current right-of-way footprint.

I-64/I-265 Interchange Improvements - this interchange will be reconstructed to improve safety and ease the flow of traffic for the 94,000 vehicles per day that use it. The work will include areas on I-64 from Blankenbaker Parkway to English Station Road and on I-265 from Pope Lick Road to the U.S. 60 (Shelbyville Road) interchange.
