Road construction this Memorial Day weekend

Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- Interstate 71 is scheduled to be free of construction this Memorial Day weekend, but that doesn't mean road crews are stopping all work for the weekend. 

Work on 1-71 will continue through Friday.  One southbound lane will be closed at night through Friday for guardrail and shoulder work, and one lane northbound will be closed for bridge work.

Lanes will be closed on I-65 between the Kennedy Bridge and the Watterson Expressway through Monday.

Crews will be paving the right lane of southbound I-65 between the Chestnut Street overpass and the Watterson Expressway.

It will be closed from 7 p.m. Friday until 5 a.m. on Monday.

Several entrance and exit ramps will also be closed to traffic throughout the weekend.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet hopes to get this work done before August to avoid conflicts with the Kentucky State Fair.
