TRAFFIC ADVISORY: I-64 Lane and Ramp Closures Beginning Tonight, July 10, in Shelby County
Work advancing on Interstate 64 widening and improvement project
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (July 10, 2025) – As part of the $118 million Interstate 64 widening and improvement project in Shelby County, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists of lane and ramp closures on Interstate 64 beginning tonight, July 10.
The existing I-64 East on-ramp from KY 53 will be closed beginning at 8 p.m. tonight, July 10. Motorists should plan to take the temporary entrance ramp from KY 53 to reach I-64 East. The closure of the existing ramp is necessary for contract crews to reconstruct the existing cloverleaf ramp to a diamond interchange. Traffic shifts on KY 53 will also be required to complete this work. These traffic control measures are expected to remain in place through the Fall of 2025.
Additionally, I-64 East will be reduced to one lane from mile marker 28 (near KY 1848/Buck Creek Road) to mile marker 32 (near KY 55/Taylorsville Road) beginning at 7 p.m. on Friday, July 11, through 5 a.m. Monday, July 14. The lane closures are necessary for contract crews to perform base failure repairs along the interstate.
All work being performed is part of the $118 million I-64 widening and improvement project in Shelby County, which began in February of 2025. The project will increase capacity, upgrade a key interchange, and modernize bridges, ensuring a more efficient and reliable transportation network for motorists.
The three-year project includes widening and pavement upgrades of an 11-mile section of I-64, reconstruction of the KY 53 interchange, rebuilding of three bridges over I-64, and widening of four existing I-64 bridges. These improvements will enhance daily travel while also supporting future growth in the region.
The interstate project is expected to be completed by the Fall of 2027. More details, including project timelines and traffic impacts, will be shared online as work progresses. Motorists are encouraged to sign up for email alerts regarding weekly traffic impacts pertaining to the project.
