I-65 is closed Monday, June 1 – Friday, July 31. The five-mile closure extends between the Watterson Expressway (I-264) and downtown Louisville (Jefferson Street).
I-65 Central Corridor is a Kentucky Transportation Cabinet project to replace aging bridges on the heavily traveled I-65 corridor between I-264 (Watterson Expressway) and the Muhammad Ali Boulevard interchange in downtown Louisville. A total of nine bridges will be replaced or rehabilitated. The project will improve safety, reduce maintenance costs, and support future traffic needs, serving generations to come.
A five-mile section of I-65 is scheduled to close between the Watterson Expressway (I-264) and downtown Louisville (Jefferson Street) on Monday, June 1. It’s expected to reopen to traffic on Saturday, Aug. 1. During the closure, the I-65 bridges over Kentucky Street/Brook Street, Hill Street/CSX Railroad/Burnett Avenue, and Bradley Avenue near the fairgrounds will be replaced. All were built in the late 1950s as part of the original construction of the interstate.
