East LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Oct. 23, 2025) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists of overnight lane and ramp closures on Interstate 264 West (Watterson Expressway) beginning Monday, Oct. 27, as part of the $130 million widening and improvement project of I-264 and U.S. 42 (Brownsboro Road).
The I-264 West on-ramp from U.S. 42 (Brownsboro Road) will be closed from 8 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 27, to 6 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 28. Additionally, the right lane of I-264 West near U.S. 42 (Brownsboro Road) will be closed.

The lane and ramp closures are necessary to allow contract crews to deliver materials and install barrier walls and crash cushions as work progresses. Motorists should use caution, heed signage, and allow extra travel time during the scheduled lane and ramp closures.
