All lanes of I-65 South near Kennedy Bridge reopen after semitruck crash in downtown Louisville

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- All southbound lanes on Interstate 65 at the Jefferson Street ramp in downtown Louisville have reopened after a semitruck crash Thursday evening.

According to TRIMARC, the crash happened around 7:37 p.m., blocking all lanes. Only the semi was involved.

Louisville Metro Police spokesperson John Bradley said the semi hit a wall and became detached. There were no injuries reported Bradley said.

Crews were working to clear the roadway of the undriveable semi. There was also a hazmat crew on scene cleaning up fuel, Louisville Fire said.

All lanes opened shortly after midnight.

This comes after a scheduled weekend closure of I-65 was canceled due to weather.

Work to perform bridge joint replacements on I-65 at "Hospital Curve" was scheduled to begin Friday and continue through the weekend. A complete closure of I-65 Southbound lanes on the Kennedy bridge that would have diverted drivers crossing the bridge into Kentucky to I-71 or I-64 has also been postponed.
