Lanes to Remain Closed on the Kennedy Bridge in Downtown Louisville

Continued lane closures needed for expansion joint repair

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists of the continued closure of the three left lanes of the I-65 Kennedy Bridge in Louisville.

In June, a KYTC crew and bridge inspectors from a consultant engineering firm inspected and performed preventative maintenance work on the bridge. During the inspection, it was discovered that bolts holding down the top and bottom plates of the expansion joint were damaged beyond use. Consequently, the joint is no longer functioning as intended and is not suitable for live traffic until crews can effectively reassemble and re-secure the loose finger joint plates with new custom bolts.

KYTC worked with a local vendor to requisition approximately 200 custom-made, high-strength, pre-tension steel bolts. Crews are waiting for the bolts to be manufactured and delivered. When the new bolts arrive, the repair crew will be immediately mobilized to complete the specialized repair. The bridge deck will be test-drilled next week to help determine time required to complete the repair.

The lane closures, beginning at mile marker 137.1 near the Indiana approach, will be in place until further notice until a repair can be completed. Expansion joints allow the bridge to expand and contract with temperature. The structural integrity of the bridge is not affected by the joint, and lanes will remain closed to avoid damage to vehicles traveling over the bridge.

I-64 Ramp Closure in Downtown Louisville

Routine bridge inspection scheduled

MSD Connects large diameter sewer line work

Reaching the finish line on Broadway

Work on the sewer pipe under the East Broadway corridor—Second to Campbell streets—is nearing the finish line with removing traffic barriers and roadway restoration work completed today. However, crews will continue to access the pipe next week during the day to address some continuing detail work underground.

This project is part of MSD Connects, which is a comprehensive large diameter sewer line rehabilitation project. The 96- to 84-inch diameter brick sewer—installed in 1866—received structural repairs and an epoxy coating to extend its service to the community.

MSD Executive Director Tony Parrott states, “We appreciate the patience of our community as crews have worked since October of 2020 to repair and rehabilitate this vital piece of infrastructure, which has served our city since horse-drawn carriages were our mode of transportation.”

MSD maintains more than 3,300 miles of sewer lines – enough to stretch from California to Maine, and many dating back 75 years or more.

MSD to begin opening a section of Broadway between Second and Hancock Streets to traffic this Friday

May 28, 2021

Reopening Broadway between Second and Hancock Streets

MSD work on Broadway, which began with an urgent repair in October 2020, is scheduled to wrap up by the end of June. While work continues on the pipe underground between Hancock and Campbell Streets, the section of Broadway between Second and Hancock is scheduled to open this Friday.

As part of MSD Connects—a comprehensive large sewer line rehabilitation project—this 96- to 84-inch diameter brick sewer—installed in 1866—has experienced failures in different locations as recently as 2009, 2014, 2015, and 2018.

After vital point repairs, crews rehabilitate the pipe with a high-strength epoxy that is stronger than the original mortar and will serve to extend the life of the sewer pipe. As work is complete on the western end of the project, traffic control is removed and relocated to the eastern end of the project. The total rehabilitation is expected to be complete by the end of June.

EXPECT DETOURS DOWNTOWN DUE TO ROAD CAVE-INS

Due to three cave-ins, expect delays and detours in Downtown Louisville.

Detours and delays are expected at South Hancock Street at East Madison Street, Fourth Street between Main and Market streets and Seventh Street at Main Street due to road cave-ins.

The South Hancock Street cave-in was caused by a nearly 3-foot break in a sewer line that runs under the road. MSD crews will begin working on the site at 11 p.m. Friday and will continue to work throughout the weekend.

Pavement voids are responsible for the cave-ins at Fourth and Seventh streets, MSD said. Crews have set plates over the cave-in on Fourth Street so traffic will be able to flow safely through the weekend. MSD crews have started working on repairing the Seventh Street cave-in and won’t be finished until early next week. Crews will set traffic detours near all three sites.

LANE CLOSURES

Beginning March 21, 2019

Several lanes will be closed in Downtown Louisville to install rigging and work platforms to paint Clark Memorial Bridge.

Clark Memorial Bridge closure on March 21, 2019 for the entire night beginning at 8 p.m. The bridge will be reopened by 5 a.m. Closure is to install rigging and work platforms on the Clark Memorial Bridge where the structure crosses over Interstate 64, River Road and Second Street. This work will require lane closures on I-64 and full closures of River Road and Second Street. All of these closures will be during nighttime hours and will last approximately two weeks, weather permitting.

Beginning Thursday, March 21, 2019, there will be lane closures on Interstate 64 under the bridge (mile marker 4.7) from 9 p.m. until 5 a.m. Also, eastbound River Road will be closed between Second Street and Third Street adjacent to the KFC YUM! Center and Second Street will be closed under the bridge between Witherspoon Street and River Road. These lane closures will be in place from 8 p.m. each night until 6 a.m. the following morning.

There are some exceptions to this schedule such as Thunder Over Louisville and Kentucky Derby week. In addition, KYTC has coordinated with the KFC YUM! Center since the closures started last fall to keep the Clark Memorial Bridge open following select University of Louisville men’s basketball games and events in an effort to reduce traffic impacts. The northbound lane of the bridge will remain open to expedite the flow of traffic after the events end. That lane will close once the majority of the traffic has exited the area surrounding the KFC YUM! Center. The contractor could close the bridge after that time, which could be well after midnight. However, this shortened closure time limits the amount of work that the contractor can perform.

For the upcoming NCAA basketball tournament games, the U of L women’s basketball game on Friday, March 22 is during the day. The bridge is scheduled to close that night. The NCAA men’s basketball games on Thursday, March 28 are anticipated to be played in the evenings. The schedule is not set yet for the games on Saturday, March 30. Currently, the contractor plans to cancel work completely for those two nights. If something changes with that schedule, we will send out an advisory.

Please understand that with construction projects there are sometimes last minute changes in work schedules for a variety of reasons. KYTC will notify the public through local media outlets, the KYTC website and KYTC social media. KYTC will not be sending updates for minor schedule changes such as the closure being delayed by an hour or the bridge being reopened an hour earlier.

Whenever the contractor plans to leave the bridge open all night due to inclement weather, major events at the KFC Yum! Center, or for other construction related issues, KYTC will sent out an advisory as soon as possible. If this decision is made after 5 pm on weekdays or on weekends, notification will be provided on KYTC Facebook and Twitter accounts.
