Construction along Interstate 64 in Louisville will close the highway each weekend through mid November. The construction project, which began earlier this month, will repair and improve the roadway. The section of highway slated for roadwork runs between 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. Friday and reopening at 6 a.m. the following Monday. On Labor Day weekend, roads will reopen Tuesday at 6 a.m.

The suggested alternate route will be I-71. Drivers 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 side of the project area. The reverse will apply to travelers headed westbound on I-64.
