Construction requiring some lane restrictions will continue overnight and on weekends until late November, when the project is expected to be completed.
The left most westbound lane will be open, and access to the ramps will remain.
The lanes on the bottom deck of the bridge that carry traffic from New Albany to Louisville will close at 10 p.m.
Louisville police have canceled the Golden Alert that was issued on Sunday.
Several lane closures and restrictions are coming to the Sherman Minton Bridge over the next few weeks for road work, starting next weekend.
While construction worked continued Monday on the Sherman Minton Bridge, traffic filled the Second Street Bridge in downtown Louisville.
INDOT advised drivers to find alternate routes, mainly Interstates 265 and 65 between Kentucky and Indiana.
The right lane of Interstate 64 westbound, which goes from Louisville to southern Indiana, will be closed several weekends in March.
Officials cleared the scene and reopened the upper deck around midnight.
The consecutive closure is necessary for crews to safely demolish and remove the upper bridge deck as part of Phase 4.
