UPDATE: According to a Facebook post from KYTC, both lanes of Interstate 165 have been reopened.

WARREN COUNTY, Ky. – Interstate 165 northbound and southbound is blocked between exit 7 and exit 25 in Warren County, transportation officials say.

On Thursday night, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet confirmed all lanes in that area were shut down.
