UPDATE | TRAFFIC ADVISORY: Overnight Closure of the East End Tunnel Tonight, Nov. 5, in Louisville

Routine inspection and maintenance of the tunnel extended

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Nov. 5, 2025) The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists of the overnight closure of the East End Tunnel tonight, Nov. 5, in Louisville. The overnight closure of the northbound bore is necessary for contract crews to perform a routine inspection and maintenance of the tunnel. 

KY 841 North (Gene Snyder Freeway) will be closed beyond Exit 37/Prospect (U.S. 42), limiting access to the East End Tunnel/Lewis and Clark Bridge to Jeffersonville, Indiana, from 7 p.m. to midnight tonight, Nov. 5. The suggested detour is to continue south on U.S. 42 to I-264 East, then take I-71 South to I-65 North to the Abraham Lincoln Bridge.

Motorists should follow posted detours and plan ahead when traveling.

The date and duration of this work may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen delays occur. For the latest traffic and travel updates across the Commonwealth of Kentucky, visit goky.ky.gov. Information specific to District 5 counties is also available on Facebook and X.
