LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- All eastbound lanes of Interstate 64 over the Sherman Minton Bridge will close the night of Nov. 11 and reopen early Monday.
In a news release, officials with the Sherman Minton Renewal project said crews will perform repaving and "demolition activities" on the lower deck of the bridge.
The closure takes effect at 10 p.m. Friday, Nov. 11, and ends at 5 a.m. Monday, Nov. 14.
Project officials suggest drivers who'd normally take the bridge to get from southern Indiana into west Louisville via I-64 instead use Interstates 265 and 65. Eastbound drivers approaching the bridge will be forced off the interstate at the West 5th Street exit in New Albany.
Closures are expected the following weekend as well. All eastbound lanes will close for nine days, beginning the Monday night after Thanksgiving (Nov. 28). Drivers will again need to take I-265 to I-65 South for a detour into west Louisville.Â
