More traffic changes as work on the Kennedy Bridge continues

Motorists encounter more traffic changes as construction continues on the Kennedy Bridge. The exit ramps from eastbound and westbound I-64 to southbound I-65 (Exit 5A) closed Saturday, July 14. Motorists must follow the I-264 detour (Watterson Expressway) to access I-65.


Motorists traveling southbound on I-71 will also encounter changes due to the closure of the I-65 southbound ramp.  Southbound I-71 merges with westbound I-64 just before the interchange with I-65.  The construction contractor has until the end of July to complete work on these ramps.

     - The exit ramp from eastbound I-64 to northbound I-65 in
       Kentucky
     - The exit ramp from southbound I-65 to Market Street in Indiana
     - The entrance ramp from Court Avenue to southbound I-65 in
