Contract Awarded for I-65 Roadway Rehabilitation in Bullitt and Hardin Counties
Project includes improvements to pavement
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (June 16, 2023) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) announces the awarding of a contract for an asphalt pavement and roadway rehabilitation project of Interstate 65 South and Interstate 65 North in Bullitt and Hardin Counties from mile marker 104.7 to mile marker 110.7.
The project will include the full removal of the concrete pavement and the replacement of asphalt pavement. Other improvements to the corridor include bridge repairs, subgrade repairs, and guardrail repairs/installation. This project will extend the life of the interstate and improve driver comfort on the roadway.
Work on the project is set to begin Monday, June 19, at 6 a.m., between mile marker 104.7 and mile marker 110.7. In order to maintain traffic flow during the duration of the project, the southbound work beginning on Monday, June 19, will include pavement repairs, milling of the existing shoulder rumble strips, and the installation of blister lanes. The blister lanes (temporary emergency lanes) will serve as emergency pull-offs for motorists, as no shoulder will be present during the project.
Motorists should expect changing traffic patterns, lane shifts, and closures as construction progresses. It is advised to seek an alternate route, if possible. Closure details are available: https://transportation.ky.gov/DistrictFive/Pages/KYTC-District-5-Roadshow.aspx.
Scotty’s Contracting and Stone, LLC. of Bowling Green, KY, was awarded the $64,543,014.63 contract with the project completion date anticipated for Fall 2024. Construction of the northbound side is scheduled to be completed in Fall 2023.
