LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A busy section of Interstate 65 in Louisville is pitch black, with no working streetlights for more than two miles.
At 9 p.m. Monday night, you can see and hear the hustle and bustle of a major interstate through the heart of Louisville. But for Camille Woods, something is missing.
"I'm relatively young still. However, driving at night can be difficult when there are no streetlights," Woods said.

The lights are out on I-65 between the Outer Loop and the Watterson.
Officials with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet told WDRB News the last inspection of this section of I-65 was in mid-June. At that time, the interstate was bright and the lights were on.
KYTC crews are still trying to figure out what is causing the outage between Outer Loop and the Watterson, but said it could take some time to figure it out and make any necessary repairs.
"For a person that has challenges seeing after dark headlights I mean, they're necessary, because it's the law, but the street lights of pivotal and safe driving," said Woods.
