TRAFFIC ADVISORY: Overnight Rolling Roadblocks on I-64 West Beginning Monday, Dec. 15, in Shelby County
Contract crews to set beams for I-64 bridge over Clear Creek
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Dec. 12, 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 rolling roadblocks on I-64 West beginning Monday, Dec. 15.
Overnight rolling roadblocks will occur on I-64 West between mile marker 33 (near KY 2861/Zaring Mill Road) and mile marker 35 (near KY 53/Mt. Eden Road) beginning at 7 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 15, through 7 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 16. The rolling roadblocks are necessary to allow contract crews to set beams for the I-64 bridge over Clear Creek.
Motorists are encouraged to use alternate routes to avoid potential delays. Message boards are in place near the project area to alert drivers of upcoming rolling roadblocks. Drivers should not attempt to pass a rolling roadblock under any circumstances. These controlled slowdowns are necessary to protect crews working in the area.
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.
