Two Downtown I-65 Underpasses Closed for Bridge Work as Broadway Shutdown Is Postponed

Full closures will allow KYTC to replace the bridges' superstructures.

Overview

  • A section of Muhammad Ali Boulevard beneath I-65 is closed this week for multi-week work and the planned Broadway underpass closure has been postponed until later in the week.
  • The closures are required to remove and replace the bridges' superstructures, a process that will keep the underpasses closed through mid-October.
  • The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has published detour routes and is urging nonlocal truck traffic to use posted detours to reduce congestion in the work zone.
  • The University of Louisville will temporarily convert Muhammad Ali Boulevard between South Brook and Floyd into two-way traffic to preserve garage access and has advised staff and patients to allow extra travel time.
  • Jefferson Community and Technical College is sending regular alerts asking students and staff to leave earlier, and commuters report shifting routes and longer travel times that could persist while the corridor work continues.
