A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to close the ramp from U.S. 60 westbound to the I-165/William Natcher Expressway southbound starting at 12 a.m. Sunday, July 21, 2019.
The U.S. 60 westbound ramp to I-165/William Natcher Expressway southbound will be closed to allow the contractor to address pavement issues along the ramp. The ramp is expected to reopen sometime Wednesday night, July 24.
There will be a marked detour via the U.S. 231 Owensboro Exit 16 interchange to allow motorists to return on U.S. 60 eastbound to connect to I-165 southbound.
Once the repair work is completed along the ramp, a crew is expected to return during the overnight hours on Thursday, July 25, to pave the ramp.
Closures for paving of other ramps at the I-165/U.S. 60 interchange at Owensboro will be scheduled at a later date.
Motorists should use appropriate caution where equipment, flaggers and construction personnel are along the roadway in close proximity to traffic flow.
