Kennedy Bridge lane and ramp closures to continue for about two weeks as Louisville construction nears completion

Drivers headed across the Kennedy Bridge in Louisville will encounter lane and ramp closures over the next two weeks as crews continue work on a construction project nearing completion, according to a report from WLKY.

The closures are expected to affect how motorists enter and travel through the bridge area, including access via nearby ramps. While the project is approaching its end, crews said the final stages of construction require continued staging that will keep portions of roadway and ramp access restricted.

The WLKY report said the closures are intended to support ongoing work by maintaining safety for both drivers and workers. Motorists are urged to follow roadside signage and lane-control directions as crews operate in and around active construction zones.

Because multiple parts of the bridge approach are affected, the closures may create congestion at surrounding intersections and slow cross-river trips during peak travel hours. Drivers are encouraged to plan trips accordingly and consider alternate routes when possible.

Local officials and the construction team are expected to keep traffic controls in place until work is complete and crews can clear the roadway back to normal operations. WLKY indicated the closures are temporary and tied to the project’s remaining finishing work.

The next two weeks will determine when the final phases of the project can be completed and when restricted lanes and ramp access will reopen, returning traffic patterns to standard routes across the bridge corridor.
