Traffic will be impacted near Shelbyville Road

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet continues to make progress on the I-Move Kentucky project as crews work in several areas of I-71, I-64 and I-265. Work to demolish the railing of the I-265 northbound bridge over Shelbyville Road will require lane closures tonight (Wednesday).
