KY 1065 (Outer Loop) Planning Study in Jefferson County 

A transportation planning study now underway in Jefferson County will evaluate potential improvements to KY 1065 (Outer Loop) between Interstate 65 and KY 2052 (Shepherdsville Road). The study, dubbed the Outer Loop Transportation Study, will identify short-term and long-term highway safety and mobility enhancements for the roughly three-mile corridor.

This study includes a full analysis of existing conditions along the corridor that will be used to develop practical solutions and improvement concepts to enhance safety, ease congestion, and improve traffic flow. The study area spans three miles across KY 1065 (Outer Loop) from Minors Lane, over I-65 and through the KY 61 (Preston Highway) intersection to KY 2052 (Shepherdsville Road).

The survey is available online: https://transportation.ky.gov/DistrictFive/Pages/KY-1065-(Outer-Loop)-Planning-Study---5-80203.00.aspx. Comments regarding the transportation study will be accepted until Friday, Oct.10, 2025, and may be mailed to the KYTC District 5 Office at 8310 Westport Road, Louisville, KY, 40242.

The displays and materials from the public meeting are available for review at the KYTC District 5 Office. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 4:30pm.
