I-71 Lane Closures for Bridge Overlay Project Begins April 14 in Jefferson County
Bridge deck overlay with lane closure
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (April 13, 2023) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists of an upcoming project involving lane closures on Interstate 71 at the bridges over U.S. 42 (mile point 6.24) in Jefferson County. Contract crews will remove the concrete wearing-surface and replace it with a latex overlay. This treatment will extend the life of the structure and will improve the roadway’s drivability.
The lane closures are scheduled for the following weekends:
- Northbound left lane: Friday, April 14, at 9 p.m. and continuing through Monday, April 17, at 5 a.m.
- Northbound right lane: Friday, April 21, at 9 p.m. and continuing through Monday, April 24, at 5 a.m.
- Southbound left lane: Friday, April 28, at 9 p.m. and continuing through Monday, May 1, at 5 a.m.
- Southbound right lane: Friday, May 12, at 9 p.m. and continuing through Monday, May 15, at 5 a.m.
A 12-foot-wide lane will be maintained for traffic throughout the duration of the lane closure. Motorists should adjust for increased travel times. Expect delays while traveling through the work zone, or seek an alternate route.
This project is the final phase of a $7.6 million asphalt resurfacing project that was completed in the fall of 2022.
The date and duration of this work may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen delays occur.
