Construction will close I-64 through Louisville, Ky., every weekend between now and the weekend of Nov. 19.

The $21 million project will repair and improve one of the state's most heavily traveled roadways. The road hasn't undergone significant repairs since it opened in 1970.
The section of I-64 where the roadwork is slated runs between the Watterson Expressway and Grinstead Drive - a 3.3-mile section of the highway. Each weekend, all lanes of I-64 from spaghetti junction to the Watterson Expressway will be closed to traffic beginning at 9 p.m. each Friday night and reopening at 6 a.m. on the following Monday. (Labor Day weekend, roads will reopen Tuesday at 6 a.m.).
The preferred alternate route will be Interstate 71. Travelers headed eastbound on I-64 will be directed at spaghetti junction to take I-71 northbound to I-264 westbound and then reconnect with I-64 eastbound at the interchange on the east end of the project area. The reverse will apply to travelers headed westbound on I-64.
