LOUISVILLE, Ky. (March 8, 2022) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists of various interstate ramp and lane closures on Wednesday, March 9, at the Kennedy interchange, known locally as “Spaghetti Junction.”

There will be intermittent lane closures from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Interstate 64 East at the Interstate 65 overpasses and on these adjacent ramps:

  • I-65 South ramp to I-64 East toward Lexington and Interstate 71 North toward Cincinnati.
  • I-65 North ramp to I-64 West toward St. Louis.
  • I-64 East ramp to I-65 North toward Indianapolis.
  • I-64 East ramp to I-71 North toward Cincinnati.

A bridge crew will be conducting follow-up inspections after a coil of steel came off a truck last week and damaged the roadway. The left shoulder and left lane of I-65 South remain closed at mile marker 136.5, just south of the Kennedy Bridge. Drivers should heed signage, use caution while traveling through the work zone or seek an alternate route.

The date and duration of this work may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen delays occur.
