LOUISVILLE – Contractors will temporarily close Interstate 65 South on the John F. Kennedy Memorial Bridge in Louisville overnight Friday, Nov. 7, as work advances on a bridge expansion joint replacement project to maintain and preserve the important Ohio River crossing.
The overnight closure is necessary to prevent any bridge movement while contract crews perform steel repairs underneath the roadway. This work involves precision machining, known as line boring, and the bridge must remain free of traffic to ensure the accuracy and alignment of the repairs.
