Lane closure planned to install safety barrier for utility work near mile point 10.2                             

On Monday (April 20, 2020), contractors for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s I-Move Kentucky project will temporarily close one northbound lane on Interstate 71 – just north of the Gene Snyder Freeway – to install barrier wall along the shoulder.

The right lane of I-71 will be closed at mile point 10.2, where Brownsboro Road (KY 1694) crosses the interstate. Work will be completed between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., and drivers should be cautious when traveling in the area. Signage and flaggers will be in place to alert drivers of the lane closures.

The barrier wall installation is underway to prepare for an upcoming waterline relocation work in this area.

Drilling crews will work overnight along I-265 for next two weeks

Note: This news release updates the schedule for planned lane closures on Interstate 265.

Drilling crews will work overnight along I-265 between I-71 and I-64 over the next two weeks.

Contractors for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s I-Move Kentucky project will close lanes on Interstate 265 (Gene Snyder Freeway), starting Tuesday, April 7, as they perform geotechnical work over the next two weeks.

Crews will be working along sections of I-265, between the I-64 and I-71 interchanges. The work will occur between mile point 25 and mile point 35 of I-265.

Portions of the left lane of either northbound or southbound I-265 may be closed for the safety of workers and the traveling public. Work will occur between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., from April 7 to April 17, and drivers should be cautious when traveling in the area.

Signage will be in place to alert drivers of the closure and workers in the area. Crews working in the field will follow the state’s social distancing guidelines while advancing this important project.

Other project activities

I-Move Kentucky is the largest construction project in Kentucky since the Ohio River Bridges Project was completed in 2016. The four-year project will add lane capacity and includes improvements at two, major interchanges where I-265 converges with I-71 and I-64.

Clearing and site preparation work also are underway on the project, primarily along the I-71 corridor between I-265 and KY 329 in Oldham County. Initial construction work on the I-Move project is expected to begin this month, starting along I-71.

No timetable has been set to start construction along I-265, but clearing and site preparation work began in late March. The entire I-Move project is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2023.
