The restrictions will happen in the eastbound and westbound lanes of Interstate 64 (both decks) to allow safe access to the bridge.

One of the hotspots for the copper thefts is the I-64/I-264 interchange near the Sherman Minton Bridge.

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. 

This will allow crews to remove the painting containment platform above the lanes.

Since the Sherman Minton Renewal Project started in mid-2021, drivers have filed hundreds of damage claims. 

The top deck of the bridge closed Monday, Aug. 5, for nine days to allow crews to continue work on hanger cables.

On Monday, the Interstate 64 westbound lanes on the top deck of the bridge closed for nine days.

Those are the lanes going from Louisville to Indiana.
