The widening of Interstate 65 to three lanes in each direction continues to move northward.
The next phase of the I-65 widening is between mile points 58 and 65, pushing north from Horse Cave and covering the Munfordville interchange. Work crews will close the outside lanes heading north and south this week in preparation of the paving of temporary lanes where shoulders currently exist.
Scotty’s Contracting—which has a nearly $64 million contract for the project—will install temporary barrier wall and begin work in the median.
Closures will take place each day through Thursday between 6 am and 5pm central, with traffic delays possible during peak afternoon hours.
Motorists are also cautioned that a speed limit reduction to 55 miles per hour will be in place through the new work zone.
