LOUISVILLE – Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear announced on Wednesday a $150 million construction project to replace three aging bridges in Louisville and ensure that Interstate 65 will support business and travel throughout the region for decades to come.
According to Kentucky.gov, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) said a contract awarded to Kiewit Infrastructure South Co. will replace three bridges on Interstate 65, near downtown Louisville. This is the first phase of the I-65 Central Corridor Project, a bridge replacement/rehabilitation initiative to ensure safe bridges along one of Kentucky’s busiest highways.
