The Sherman Minton Renewal project team reminds motorists of the upcoming nine-day directional closure. Weather permitting, the following closure will allow crews to safely continue cable hanger work and other construction activities. If this closure is delayed for any reason, notifications will be distributed identifying new dates and times.
9-day Directional Closure:
Beginning Monday, August 5, westbound I-64, from Kentucky to Indiana, will be closed at or after 5 a.m. until 5 a.m. on Wednesday, August 14. Eastbound I-64 will remain open during this time.
During the westbound I-64 directional closure, the I-64 westbound exit ramp to Elm Street (Exit 123) will be closed along with the I-264 westbound to I-64 westbound ramp.
While the westbound directional closure is in place, the suggested alternate route will be I-65 and I-265. Regional traffic signs and variable message boards will be posted in the project area well in advance, notifying motorists of the closures and alternate route.
Through traffic that bypasses I-65 will not be able to cross the Sherman Minton bridge. This traffic will be required to exit to I-264 and then Bank Street. Detour/Alternate Route signage will be in place directing traffic back to I-64 eastbound, then continue to I-65 and the designated alternate route.
