TRAFFIC ADVISORY: Overnight Lane Closure on I-64 East Beginning Monday, Jan. 12, in Franklin County

Contract crews to perform bridge work

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Jan. 8, 2026)  The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists of an overnight lane closure on I-64 East beginning Monday, Jan. 12, in Franklin County. 

The left lane of I-64 East at mile point 53.15 (near U.S. 127) will be closed overnight from 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 12, through 6 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 13. The overnight lane closure is necessary for contract crews to perform bridge work. 

The work is part of the I-64 improvement project between the Frankfort exits (mile markers 53 and 58), which includes milling removing the existing asphalt surface followed by resurfacing with new asphalt pavement. Other improvements to the 5-mile corridor include bridge repairs and bridge crash wall repairs.

Construction is scheduled to be completed by the Fall of 2026. Motorists are advised to follow all lane closure restrictions, use caution when traveling through the work zone, and plan for additional travel time.

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.
