Drivers traveling Interstate 65 and Interstate 264 in Louisville should expect overnight lane and ramp closures to continue as crews begin traffic work ahead of a major summer interstate shutdown.
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.
The crash happened around 10:30 p.m. between the Bells Lane and Dumesnil Street exits.
A woman was found with a gunshot wound after officers responded to a call of a vehicle collision around 3:47 a.m.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet said the left and center lanes will be closed to complete work on joint repairs between East Broadway and the Kennedy Bridge.
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 closure allowed crews to address areas of I-65 impacted by recent semitruck crashes.
TRIMARC reported the multi-vehicle crash happened at 2:02 p.m. at mile marker 35.9 near I-71.
Police said the driver was trapped inside and had to be extricated from the vehicle.
All lanes of Interstate 64 west at Eastwood Fisherville Road are blocked after the roadway iced over.
