Interstate 265 in Kentucky

[edit]

I-265 in the US state of Kentucky presently runs 28.7 miles (46.2 km) from the Lewis and Clark Bridge in northern Louisville to an interchange with I-65 in southern Louisville.[1] The entire freeway is concurrent with KY 841.

The Gene Snyder Freeway, in which KY 841 and I-265 overlap for 24.477 miles (39.392 km) between I-65 and the Indiana state line, has seen an increase in serious accidents. The primary factors stem from its low-level grass median which offers little to no protection for crossover incidents. Driver inattention and increased traffic and congestion has led to a decline in the overall level-of-service. In 2006, cable barriers were installed in the median for 10 miles (16 km) between I-71 and I-64, with further installation possible in the near future.[2] Part of the road is currently signed in kilometers, which is unusual in the United States.[3]
