In the spring and summer of 2007, repairs will be made to I-64 along Louisville's Riverfront. The interstate will be closed between Preston Street and the Sherman Minton Bridge for three consecutive weekends beginning Friday evening June 8 and then will be closed between Third Street and 22nd Street for approximately 30 days beginning Thursday July 5, re-opening Monday August 6.
Working 24 hours a day, seven days a week during the 30-day closure, construction workers will make much needed repairs. By closing the interstate, repairs can be made in less than half the time of traditional construction. It will make the repair process safer for motorists and construction workers.
Through out the 30 day closure period, west bound traffic from 3rd Street to the 22nd Street Interchange
will be restricted. However, exits to many downtown streets will be accessible via 3rd Street and 22nd Street ramps from I-64. All I-65 access ramps will remain open except for the I-65 NB to I-64 WB ramp. In order to provide additional interstate access during Restore 64 construction, access to I-65 from the 2nd Street on-ramp will be provided.
