Multiple I-65, I-265 Closures Disrupt Traffic Indianapolis, Louisville

Multiple closures are impacting key interstate routes in Indiana and Kentucky this weekend due to ongoing construction and emergency incidents. In Indianapolis, northbound Interstate 65 will close from Friday night to Monday morning as part of the Indiana Department of Transportation’s I-65 Safety & Efficiency project, focusing on drainage improvements between the I-465 and I-70 interchanges, with another closure scheduled for the following weekend. In Louisville, a section of southbound I-65 near the Kennedy Bridge, known as "Hospital Curve," will also close starting Friday night for several days to replace bridge joints and install safety features following multiple truck crashes in the area. Additionally, a crash involving two vehicles has shut down all northbound lanes of Interstate 265 at New Cut Road in southern Jefferson County for an undetermined amount of time, causing significant traffic delays. Drivers are advised to follow posted detours on I-465 and I-70 in Indianapolis and expect delays and rerouting in Louisville due to these closures and incidents. Officials are monitoring conditions and will provide updates as available.
