Traffic will be impacted on I-71 and I-265

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. Ongoing work for surface paving and shoulder work will require ramp closures on I-71 and lane closures on I-265 this week.

Tonight (Monday) and for several nights over the next few weeks from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. the next morning, traffic will be reduced by one lane on I-265 northbound for work on the shoulder. The lane closure will start near Aiken Road at mile point 27.7 and continue to La Grange Road at mile point 30.4.

Tonight (Monday) and for several nights over the next few weeks from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. the next morning, work on I-71 at the I-265 interchange will continue as crews mill and pave the roadway. Ramp and lane closures at the interchange will change nightly while the multi-day paving project is completed, weather permitting. The paving schedule will be updated daily on the I-Move Kentucky website.
