Public meetings on I-65 Louisville closure scheduled

April 23, 2026 21

Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District Five will share information on the summer closure of Interstate 65 in downtown Louisville at two upcoming public information meetings.

The KYTC says they will host two public meetings “to make sure that people have the information they need to prepare for the two-month closure.”

The first meeting will be held at DuPont Manual High School (120 West Lee Street) on Tuesday, May 5. The second will be held at the Spalding University College Center (812 South Second Street) on Tuesday, May 12. Both meetings will go from 5:30 to 7 p.m., with a presentation at 6. The meetings will be an open house format with the opportunity for one-on-one conversations with the project team.

The KYTC says the meetings will include information on why the closure is needed, what to expect, how to prepare, and how to best get around during the temporary closure. The KYTC can provide special accommodations for persons with disabilities and/or language barriers if participants provide advanced notice (270-705-1640, or email berry.craig@parsons.com).

I-65 is scheduled to close between the Watterson Expressway (I-264) and Jefferson Street in downtown Louisville from June 1 through August 1. Traffic will be detoured to I-264 on the west side of Louisville. Visit the project website, www.I65centralcorridor.com, for more information.
