LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The planned closure of the westbound lanes of the Sherman Minton Bridge starts Friday night.
Crews will close the westbound lanes of Interstate 64 on the bridge for the weekend. Anyone heading from Louisville to New Albany, Indiana will need to take Interstate 65 and Interstate 265 as a detour.
The westbound lanes will be closed through 6 a.m. Monday, Sept. 26.
Overnight, the eastbound lane on the upper deck will also shut down, leaving just one single eastbound lane on the lower deck open for travel.
The I-64 westbound exit ramp to Spring Street and the I-264 Westbound ramp to the I-64 Westbound ramp will also be closed throughout the weekend. But despite an event-filled weekend, project officials say they don't expect the closure to cause major delays.
"The project team always takes into consideration the major well established events in Louisville and we don't expect any unusual inconvenience related to this weekend closure," said Andrea Brady with the Sherman Minton Renewal project.
Crews will be removing paint containment systems and platforms.
