Weekend ramp and lane closures in effect for I-65 closure prep work

More overnight ramp and lane closures are in effect this weekend as part of the prep work for the summer closure of Interstate 65 in downtown Louisville this summer.

Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District Five says the ramp from First Street to southbound I-65 and lanes on southbound I-65 between St. Catherine Street and Arthur Street will be closed Friday from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. Lanes on I-65 North between Grade Lane and the I-264 interchange will be closed from 7 p.m. Friday through 6 a.m. Monday.

I-65 is scheduled to close between the Watterson Expressway and Jefferson Street on June 1, with reopening planned for August 1. Traffic will be detoured during the closure to I-264 on the city’s west side. Visit the project website, www.i65centralcorridor.com, for more information.
