I-65 ramps reopen in time for morning commute

Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- After a 3-day delay,  drivers on Interstate 65 will finally have an easier drive through Spaghetti Junction.

The ramps on 65 north to 64 and 71 reopened at 5:10 a.m., according to Kentucky Transportation Cabinet spokeswoman Andrea Clifford.

Officials say more time was needed to repair the ramps, because the concrete was in worse shape than expected.

But the relief for drivers won't last long.

Northbound 65 between the Watterson and hospital curve will be closed from 7 p.m. Friday night until 5 a.m. Monday morning.

Contractors will be putting the final asphalt surface on the four-mile stretch.
