The incident blocked all northbound lanes on Interstate 71 near Crestwood, according to WLKY, prompting major traffic disruption in the Louisville-area corridor.
A crash involving a semi on I-71 North shut down the northbound lanes in Oldham County near Crestwood on June 23, blocking all lanes of traffic, WLKY reported.
The report said the shutdown was in effect near the Crestwood area and that drivers traveling north were unable to pass through the affected stretch due to the blockage.
As of the time of WLKY’s update at 11:26 a.m. ET, WLKY indicated the crash was causing a full lane closure on the interstate, with the incident location described as being on I-71 North near Crestwood.
WLKY’s account did not provide additional confirmed details in the information provided, including the number of vehicles involved beyond the semi, whether any injuries occurred, or what caused the crash.
The disruption is expected to affect commuters and commercial traffic moving through the Louisville region, since I-71 is a primary north-south route for both local and through traffic.
Roadway openings, if and when they occur, will depend on the completion of cleanup and any investigation steps by crash response authorities at the scene, WLKY’s reporting framework indicated through its live-traffic style update.
