The I-64 east ramp from West Spring Street in New Albany will also be closed, as well as the I-64 east to Interstate 264 east ramp.
Officials with the Sherman Minton Renewal Project are urging drivers to use the detour of Interstate 265 to Interstate 65.
Another eastbound closure will happen next weekend. A nine-day closure of the eastbound lanes, which has been delayed several times, is supposed to start Dec. 14 and end Dec. 23.
Westbound lanes will remain open during the closures.
The work is part of the ongoing Sherman Minton Renewal project, which is aimed at painting and rehabilitating the 59-year-old bridge. The project is anticipated to give the bridge up to 30 more years of life.
