Traffic will be impacted between Aiken Road and I-64

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 install a camera pole will require I-265lane closures overnight Monday.

I-265 northbound and southbound will be reduced by one lane between Shelbyville Road at mile point 26.8 and I-64 at mile point 25.4.

Work schedules may be adjusted due to weather or other unforeseen delays. Drivers should be cautious when traveling through active construction areas. Signage and flaggers will be in place to alert drivers of lane closures and construction zones.

Other I-Move Kentucky Work Areas

I-71 – Work continues to widen to the roadway including excavation, bridge replacements, paving operations, and the installation sound barrier walls. Ongoing blasting work on I-71 requires rolling lane closures and short-term road closures daily, including some weekends, between noon and 3 p.m. while blasting is completed. Shoulder closures and overnight lane closures may occur during sound barrier wall installation.

I-71/I-265 interchange – Work continues on new bridges, access ramps and along I-71 near mile point 9.1. The new collector-distributor lane opened earlier this year to improve safety for vehicles entering and exiting the roadway.

I-265 – Work continues to widen the roadway including excavation in the median and paving operations. Ongoing work requires traffic shifts on I-265 northbound and southbound between Shelbyville Road at mile point 26.8 and Taylorsville Road at mile point 23.1. Traffic shifts to enter I-265 from Shelbyville Road to accommodate ongoing construction of new bridge piers for the I-265 bridge also continue this month. Traffic shifts on I-265 northbound continue for work on the median between Aiken Road at mile point 27.7 and Old Henry Road at mile point 28.8. See planned traffic impacts above.

I-Move Update: Shelbyville Road traffic shifted back to original configuration

Expansion work overhead at the I-265 interchange moves forward

Shelbyville Road traffic returned to its original configuration near the I-265 interchange today. Bridge pier construction for the I-Move Kentucky project required traffic to be shifted for nearly three months to accommodate expansion work.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is expanding this important segment of I-265 over Shelbyville Road from four to six lanes to improve safety and relieve congestion. Widening of I-265 between KY 155 (Taylorsville Road) and I-71 was identified as Kentucky’s top transportation priority by the Strategic Highway Investment Formula for Tomorrow (SHIFT) initiative developed by KYTC and included in the 2018 Highway Plan approved by the Kentucky General Assembly.

“Thank you to the public for their patience while we constructed bridge piers at this vital interchange,” said KYTC project manager Chris Slone. “This short-term inconvenience allowed us to make much-needed improvements to the roadway that will benefit motorists for years to come.”

Structural work continues on the bridge over Shelbyville Road leading up to beam installation, surfacing and the eventual use of the expanded roadway. That work may require short-term traffic impacts to be announced at a later date.

Work continues overhead to widen I-265 roadway.

I-Move Kentucky is the state’s innovative approach to improving the safety, ease of travel and quality of life for travelers and businesses that frequently use I-265, I-71 and I-64. Using a four-projects-in-one approach, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet will be able to address some of its highest-priority transportation needs.
