I-264/U.S. 42 Improvement Project Traffic Advisory: Overnight Lane Closure on I-264 East Beginning Tuesday, Nov. 11

Contract crews to deliver materials for bridge construction 

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Nov. 7, 2025) The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists of an overnight lane closure on Interstate 264 East (Watterson Expressway) beginning Tuesday, Nov. 11, as part of the $130 million widening and improvement project of I-264 and U.S. 42 (Brownsboro Road).

The left lane of I-264 East between mile markers 22 and 23 (from U.S. 42/Brownsboro Road to the I-264/I-71 split) will be closed from 8 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 11, through 6 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 12. 

The overnight lane closure is necessary for contract crews to deliver materials for bridge construction as work progresses on the project. Motorists should use caution, heed signage, and allow extra travel time during the scheduled lane closure. 

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 or text alerts regarding weekly traffic impacts pertaining to the project.
