LOUISVILLE, Ky. (July 15, 2025) – As part of the $130 million improvement project of Interstate 264 (Watterson Expressway) and U.S. 42 (Brownsboro Road) in Louisville, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists of extended lane closures on U.S. 42 (Brownsboro Road) beginning Friday, July 18.
Lane closures and traffic shifts will occur on U.S. 42 (Brownsboro Road) from Rudy Lane to Glenview Avenue beginning at 6 p.m. Friday, July 18, through 6 a.m. Monday, July 21. The lane closures and traffic shifts are necessary for contract crews to remove the raised barrier median to prepare the roadway for the reconstruction of the U.S. 42 (Brownsboro Road) bridge over I-264 (Watterson Expressway).
Following the scheduled weekend work, U.S. 42 (Brownsboro Road) eastbound will be reduced to one through lane west of Rudy Lane, and U.S. 42 (Brownsboro Road) westbound will be reduced to one through lane at Northfield Drive. Turning movements from U.S. 42 (Brownsboro Road) to I-264 East and West on-ramps will not be affected. These traffic control measures are expected to remain in place through the reconstruction of the U.S. 42 (Brownsboro Road) bridge over I-264 (Watterson Expressway). Motorists should heed signage, use caution, and plan ahead when traveling.
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.
