I-65 lanes to shift temporarily in Bullitt County

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Motorists on Interstate 65 in Bullitt County will find a change in the traffic pattern for a few weeks.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says the construction work zone will be between mile points 118 and 123.

The cabinet says two lanes of traffic will be maintained in each direction, with one lane of southbound traffic shifted to the northbound lanes. A concrete barrier wall will separate southbound from northbound traffic. The shift was starting Sunday night.

To take exit 121, southbound motorists must stay in the right lane.

Once repairs are made to the southbound lanes, traffic will use the newly paved lanes while repairs are made in the northbound lanes.

Double fines are being enforced in the work zone, where the speed limit is reduced to 55 mph.
