肯塔基州路易斯维尔市三条I-65匝道10月30日重新开放:中央走廊九座桥梁升级工程继续推进

肯塔基州州长安迪·贝希尔(Andy Beshear)10月30日宣布,位于肯塔基州杰斐逊县路易斯维尔市的三条65号州际公路(I-65)匝道即日起重新开放通行,这是 I-65 中央走廊工程取得的又一进展。
重新开放的三条匝道为:从木兰街(Magnolia)、弗洛伊德街(Floyd)与普雷斯顿街(Preston)汇入 I-65 南向的上匝道;I-65 南向通往阿瑟街(Arthur Street)的下匝道(134号出口);以及从普雷斯顿街汇入 I-65 北向的上匝道。
贝希尔说:「肯塔基团队正努力让 I-65 对每一位驾驶者更安全,同时尽快交付成果,让路易斯维尔居民恢复日常通勤。从今年夏天提前重新开放沃特森高速公路(Watterson Expressway)与市中心之间的 I-65 路段,到确保不再有大规模州际公路封闭,再到如今重开这些匝道,我们正在为这座伟大的城市把工程做完。」
随着三条匝道重开,车流已从临时借用的北向车道转回南向车道。未来几个月还将有更多匝道重开,包括 I-65 南向通往圣凯瑟琳街(St. Catherine Street)的下匝道(135号出口)。
这三条匝道于2026年6月因相邻桥梁施工关闭,是 I-65 中央走廊整体工程的一部分。该工程共升级九座桥梁:首批三座预计2027年3月完工,包括肯塔基街与布鲁克街上方、希尔街(跨 CSX 铁路与伯内特大道)以及布拉德利大道上方的桥梁;其余六座位于 I-65 一英里路段上的桥梁升级工程正在进行。
过境货车车流将继续分流至264号州际公路,只有目的地在市中心的货车可使用 I-65。明年夏天起,市中心路段每个方向保留一条车道开放;沃特森高速公路与市中心之间五英里路段在明年5月前保持每个方向两条车道,2027年5月至2028年底,市中心附近较短的一英里路段将调整为每个方向一条车道。工程信息与最新路况可查阅 I-65中央走廊工程官网,肯塔基州交通厅第五区也在其社交账号发布工程进展。

Three I-65 Ramps Reopen in Louisville as Kentucky's Central Corridor Project Advances
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear announced on October 30 that three Interstate 65 ramps in Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky, have reopened to traffic as Team Kentucky continues significant progress on the I-65 Central Corridor project.
The three reopened ramps are the on-ramp to southbound I-65 from Magnolia, Floyd and Preston streets; the off-ramp from southbound I-65 to Arthur Street (Exit 134); and the on-ramp from Preston Street to northbound I-65.
"Team Kentucky is working hard to make I-65 safer for every driver while also delivering results quickly so that Louisville residents can get back to their regular commutes," Gov. Beshear said. "From reopening I-65 between the Watterson Expressway and downtown ahead of schedule this past summer to ensuring no further major interstate closures and now reopening these ramps, we are making progress to get this work done for this great city."
With the three reopenings, traffic has shifted back to southbound I-65 from the temporary use of the northbound lanes. Additional reopenings are expected in the coming months, including the off-ramp from southbound I-65 to St. Catherine Street (Exit 135).
The three ramps closed in June 2026 for adjacent bridge construction as part of the overall I-65 Central Corridor project, which is upgrading nine bridges in total. The first three bridges are expected to be completed in March 2027, covering Kentucky and Brook Streets; Hill Street, a CSX railroad and Burnett Avenue; and Bradley Avenue. Work is underway on the six remaining bridges along a one-mile stretch of I-65.
Through truck traffic will continue to be diverted to Interstate 264, except for trucks with a downtown destination. Starting next summer, one interstate lane will remain open in each direction in the downtown area; the five-mile stretch between the Watterson Expressway and downtown keeps two lanes in each direction until next May, and from May 2027 through late 2028 a shorter one-mile section near downtown will run one lane in each direction. Project information is available at the I-65 Central Corridor project site.
