KYTC said the closure is part of the expansion joint replacement project for the Kennedy Bridge, which carries all southbound I-65 traffic across the Ohio River from Indiana into Kentucky. 

Construction work in the notorious “Hospital Curve” corridor of Interstate 65 South wrapped up early, but more lane closures and traffic headaches are on the way for Louisville drivers.

The multiyear project will widen Interstate 264 (Watterson Expressway) between Westport Road and Interstate 71 in both directions to three lanes.
