I-65 to Reopen to Louisville Traffic Overnight Tuesday, 3 Days Ahead of Schedule
Four lanes will reopen three days early while crews keep working on bridge replacements and other upgrades, officials said.
- Gov. Andy Beshear announced on Tuesday that four lanes of I-65 in Louisville will reopen early on Wednesday, July 29, three days ahead of schedule, following a planned two-month closure.
- The closure replaced three aging bridges constructed in the 1950s, an effort officials say accelerated the timeline and saved at least a year of additional traffic restrictions on the interstate.
- Construction crews have set around 70 steel beams and more than 200 precast deck panels, though work on the Central Corridor Project will continue through March 2027 with reduced lane capacity.
- Motorists should expect a 40 mph speed limit and continue using the I-264 detour, as some ramps near construction sites remain temporarily closed despite the partial reopening.
- Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Goodman noted the project involves repairing nine bridges total, stating these improvements "will benefit drivers for decades to come.
