LOUISVILLE, Ky. (April 1, 2026) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists of overnight lane closures on Interstate 64 East and West beginning Thursday, April 9, in Franklin County
Alternating overnight lane closures are scheduled on I-64 East and West between mile marker 58 (near U.S. 60) and mile marker 53 (near U.S. 127) from 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 9, to 6 a.m. on Friday, April 10. The lane closures are necessary for contract crews to remove barrier wall. Motorists are advised to follow all lane closure restrictions, use caution when traveling through the work zone, and plan for additional travel time.
The work is part of the I-64 improvement project between the Frankfort exits (mile markers 53 and 58), which includes milling removing the existing asphalt surface followed by resurfacing with new asphalt pavement. Other improvements to the 5-mile corridor include bridge repairs and bridge crash wall repairs. Construction is scheduled to be completed by the Fall of 2026.
