Demolition of I-264 bridge over U.S. 42 (Brownsboro Road) continues
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (July 24, 2025) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists of the overnight closure of Interstate 264 West (Watterson Expressway) in Louisville beginning Thursday, July 24, as part of the $130 million improvement project of I-264 and U.S. 42 (Brownsboro Road).
During the overnight closure from 7 p.m. Thursday, July 24, to 5 a.m. Friday, July 25, westbound I-264 traffic will be diverted via the U.S. 42 (Brownsboro Road) off-ramp at Exit 22. Drivers will cross U.S. 42 (Brownsboro Road) and rejoin I-264 West via the on-ramp located on the opposite side of the existing interchange.
Eastbound I-264 was previously scheduled to close tonight, July 24; however, contract crews completed the necessary work ahead of schedule and are transitioning to demolition activities on the westbound side. As crews continue demolition work, additional overnight closures of the interstate will be necessary in the coming weeks. Motorists should use caution, heed signage, and allow extra travel time during the scheduled 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 alerts regarding weekly traffic impacts pertaining to the project.
The date and duration of this work may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen delays occur.
