TRAFFIC ADVISORY: Overnight Lane Closures on Interstate 64 Beginning Wednesday, Nov. 19, in Shelby County
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Nov. 18, 2025) – As part of the $118 million widening and improvement project of Interstate 64 in Shelby County, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists of overnight lane closures on I-64 beginning Wednesday, Nov. 19.
I-64 East and West will be reduced to one lane between mile marker 28 (near KY 1848/Buck Creek Road) and mile marker 32 (near KY 55/Taylorsville Road) on the dates and times below:
- From 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 19, to 6 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 20.
- From 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 20, to 6 a.m. Friday, Nov. 21.
All work being performed is part of the 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 nearly 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 traffic impacts pertaining to the project.
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.
