I-64 West: All lanes will be closed from 8 p.m. Friday, June 2, to 6 a.m. Friday, June 16, as crews perform asphalt resurfacing and remove/replace Cochran Hill Tunnel surface. The closure will start from the I-264 interchange (mile point 12.6) to Story Avenue (mile point 6.6). Traffic impacts: Traffic will be diverted from I-64 West to I-264 East or West ramps. The ramps from I-264 East and West to I-64 West will be closed. The I-64 West on-ramp from Story Avenue will remain open. Motorists should adjust for increased travel times and expect delays while traveling the detour route. Signed detour route (depending on destination): I-264 East to I-71 South, then reconnect to I-64 West. Upon completion of the I-64 West closure, motorists can expect a closure of I-64 East to begin on June 16.

I-64 West (Exit 15) to North Hurstbourne Lane (KY 1747): Nightly lane closure and delays are possible at the I-64 West (Exit Ramp 15) to North Hurstbourne Lane (KY 1747) for striping improvements. The project is expected to be completed in the late summer of 2023.

I-71 North at bridges over U.S. 42 (mile point 6.25):  Lane closures and delays are possible for bridge deck work, which involves the removal of the concrete wearing surface and replacement with a latex overlay. This treatment will extend the life of the structure and will improve the roadway's drivability. This project is the final phase of a $7.6 million asphalt resurfacing project completed in the fall of 2022. Signs in the area will notify drivers of the work, but motorists should adjust for increased travel times, expect delays while traveling through the work zone, or seek an alternate route. A 12-foot-wide lane will be maintained for traffic throughout the duration of the lane closure. The schedule may be adjusted as this work relies highly on suitable weather conditions.

The lane closures are scheduled for the following weekends:

• Northbound left lane: Friday, June 9, at 9 p.m. and continue through Monday, June 12, at 5 a.m.
