Motorists on Interstate 65 can expect delays during road improvement project

May 22, 2021

WNKY Staff,

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – A project to rehabilitate and resurface a section of Interstate 65 in Warren County continues with additional lane closures in both directions next week between the 13 mile marker and the 28 mile marker.

Crews are making progress on repairing the individual spots where disjointed pavement has occurred. The project is expected to be finished by the end of the year. Motorists should expect delays and use caution while traveling in this area. The stop condition at the onramp to I-65 south at Exit 22 is expected to be removed next week.

The entire construction zone on I-65 is from the 28 mile marker to the 13 mile marker in both directions. The roadway will remain down to two lanes with additional lane closures taking place on certain nights. There is also a width restriction of 11 feet in both directions in this section. The total width restriction is 20 feet. The construction schedule beginning Sunday night is listed below. Work is weather dependent and could change.
