TRAFFIC ADVISORY: Updated Schedule for Blasting Operations as Part of I-264 Widening and Improvement Project in Louisville

Operations scheduled for approximately 2 p.m. Monday through Friday

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Oct. 23, 2025) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists of an updated blasting schedule as part of the $130 million widening and improvement project of I-264 and U.S. 42 (Brownsboro Road) in Louisville.

Blasting operations are now anticipated to occur Monday through Friday at approximately 2 p.m. beginning Friday, Oct. 24. Intermittent roadblocks are required during blasting operations, and delays of up to 20 minutes are possible. Motorists should use caution, follow posted signage, and allow extra travel time during the scheduled roadblocks. 

Blasting operations may be canceled on short notice due to weather or unforeseen circumstances. Daily blasting notifications will no longer be issued, and additional details regarding blasting locations and operations will be shared when available.

The highway improvement 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.
