I-264/U.S. 42 Improvement Project Traffic Advisory: Daytime Lane and Ramp Closures on I-264 West Wednesday, Dec. 10

Contract crews to perform pavement patching

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Dec. 8, 2025) The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists of daytime lane and ramp closures on Interstate 264 West (Watterson Expressway) on Wednesday, Dec. 10, as part of the $130 million widening and improvement project of I-264 and U.S. 42 (Brownsboro Road).

The right lane of I-264 West (Watterson Expressway) will be closed between mile markers 22 and 23 (from U.S. 42/Brownsboro Road to the I-264/I-71 split) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 10. Additionally, the I-264 West (Watterson Expressway) off-ramp to U.S. 42 (Brownsboro Road) at Exit 22 will be closed from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 10. During the ramp closure, motorists should plan to detour by taking I-71 to Exit 2 at Zorn Avenue to reach U.S. 42 (Brownsboro Road). 

The daytime lane and ramp closures are necessary for contract crews to perform pavement patching, which must be completed during daytime hours to ensure proper application and durability of the material due to current weather conditions. 

Motorists should heed signage, use caution when traveling through the work zone, and plan ahead for travel delays. 

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.
