The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists of ramp improvements taking place in downtown Louisville this weekend. Multiple interstate ramps will be closed from 9 p.m. Friday, September 11 until 5 a.m. Monday, September 14.
Ramps to be closed include:
- I-64 West to I-65 South
- I-64 West to I-65 North
- I-71 South to I-65 North
- Story Ave to I-65 North & South
- Story Ave to I-64 West
This work was originally scheduled to take place in August but was rescheduled due to rain. Closure of the ramps is necessary to perform signing & pavement marking modifications in the area locally known as “Spaghetti Junction.” These modifications are to better align with traffic volumes and will remove an undesired merge from I-71 South to I-65 North, which should allow traffic to flow more efficiently. While the ramps are closed, overhead signs will be installed to supplement the revised markings. All of the existing striping on the closed ramps will also be updated and refreshed.
Following the opening of the ramps, I-64 West traffic accessing I-65 is advised to take note of the new overhead panel signs and lane markings to ensure they are in the correct lane for I-65 North and South. Following the modifications, the left lane will become an exit only to I-65 South (Nashville), and the right lane will become a single lane accessing I-65 North (Indianapolis).
 The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) District 5 Office advises the public of on-site repair work scheduled to begin next week on the ramp from KY 61 (Preston Highway) to I-265 West (Gene Snyder Freeway) in Jefferson County. Contract crews will mobilize on-site beginning the week of September 14.
The repair work is being performed as part of a master agreement with Jave LLC of Lexington. New customized bearings for the bridge have been fabricated in off-site facilities and will be delivered to the site. On-site work is scheduled to be completed by mid-October.
The ramp was closed in May after advanced pier deterioration was found during a routine inspection. Motorists should continue to take the following detour:
KY 61 North (Preston Highway) to I-265 East to Smyrna Road (Exit 14) to reconnect with I-265 West
The date and duration of this work may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen delays occur.
