I-65 thru Louisville, Ky. ???

Hello todays experts. Will be traveling north on I-65 in 2 weeks. How is it going thru the center of Louisville or take the bypass? By comparison; is Louisville anything like going thru Cincinnati? Thanks. :h

  • Just out of curiosity, what kind of shape is I-65 in Indiana? The last time I went through there it needed some work.
  • Louisville now has 2 bridges both 6 lanes each so no longer the traffic problems of years past.
    However both bridges are now toll bridges. You don't stop to pay the tolls, if you have the transponder the toll is $2.05 for a passenger car, prepay account no transponder $3.08 and pay by mail is $4.10
    most rv's are $5.13 with transponder, $6.15 prepay and $7.19 pay by mail.
  • Unless you hit commuting times, you should be fine. I drove 65 through Louisville most every day , often at rush hour, for several years when I was in college. As long as nothing happens to snarl a bridge it’s not crazy.
  • I live in Shepherdsville about 20 miles south of Louisville, between 9:30 am and 2:30 pm is usually ok , unless there is a wreck. The bypass around Louisville is probably worse now with road construction
