Several Road Projects Could Cause Delays

There are several road projects the next few days that could cause traffic delays. See below for details:

 

·         Kennedy Bridge Work:  Some lane closures beginning tonight.  Two of the three southbound lanes of I-65 will be affected.  The work is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. today with lanes reopening by 5 a.m. Monday.  The right two lanes of I-65 South will be closed from just north of the Kennedy Bridge in Jeffersonville, Ind., to the far south end of the bridge in downtown Louisville. Southbound traffic will be limited to one lane. The entrance ramp from Court Avenue in Jeffersonville to southbound I-65 will be closed during the weekend work. All lanes and exit ramps at the south end of the Kennedy Bridge will remain open. The Exit 0 ramp from southbound I-65 to West Market Street in Jeffersonville will be open.

·         Entrance ramp from westbound I-64 to westbound Interstate 264 (Watterson Expressway): Reduced to one lane next week.  Contract crews will be performing bridge joint and concrete pavement repairs on this ramp.  The ramp will remain open during this work, but will be reduced from two lanes to one. Lane closure is scheduled from 9:00 a.m. on Monday through 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 22.

·       Beginning the evening of Monday, June 17, one of the two left-turn lanes from westbound U.S. 42 onto KY 841, as well as the dedicated right-turn lane from eastbound U.S. 42 onto KY 841, will be closed. As of that date, eastbound and westbound traffic on U.S. 42 will continue to have access to the KY 841. Then, by 5 A.M. Friday morning, June 21, both directions of KY 841 traffic will be shifted to the existing, improved southbound KY 841 ramp.
