Safety issues
The Gene Snyder Freeway, from Interstate 65 to Interstate 71 has seen an increase in serious accidents. Interstate 65 (I-65 is a major Interstate Highway in the United States. Interstate 71 (I-71 is an Interstate Highway in the Great Lakes/Midwestern region of the United States. The primary factors stem from its low-level grass median which offers little to no protection for crossover incidents. Its concrete pavement, which was diamond-ground in the late-1990's, made the pavement quite slick in wet weather. Driver inattention and increased traffic and congestion has led to a decline in the overall level-of-service. In 2006, cable medians were installed in the 10 mile stretch from Interstate 71 to Interstate 64, with further installation possible in the near future. Interstate 71 (I-71 is an Interstate Highway in the Great Lakes/Midwestern region of the United States. Interstate 64 (abbreviated I-64) is an Interstate Highway in the eastern United States. [1]
History
Originally signed just as KY 841, the Jefferson Freeway was constructed originally with two sections, one between KY 155 (Taylorsville Road) and US 60 (Shelbyville Road) and a second section between KY 1447 (Westport Road) and US 42 in the 1960s as short connectors to the eastern suburban expansion as well as a new automobile plant. Kentucky Route 155 ( KY 155) is a 20815 mile (33498 km long State highway in the U For the US Route 60 in the 1925 plan see US Route 66. US Route 60 is an east-west United States highway, running 2670 Miles Route description Kentucky US 42 crosses into Covington Kentucky on the Clay Wade Bailey Bridge, joined with U I-264 by 1970 was woefully congested and was in dire need of reconstruction and other improvements, therefore I-265 was proposed as an outer beltway to provide pass-through motorists relief from the congestion of I-264. The Henry Watterson Expressway, known as the Shawnee Expressway west of US 31W is one of two Interstate Highways in the United States designated as Construction started in the early 1980s and was finished later that decade and signed in 1987.
The road is signed Interstate 265 from the I-65 interchange to the I-71 interchange. Interstate 65 (I-65 is a major Interstate Highway in the United States. Interstate 71 (I-71 is an Interstate Highway in the Great Lakes/Midwestern region of the United States. From I-65 west to US 31W (although it is up to interstate standards) and I-71 north/west to US 42, is signed as KY 841 due to AASHTO numbering rules. US Highway 31W is the westernmost of two parallel routes for U AASHTO, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, is a standards setting body which publishes specifications test protocols and KY 841 is signed throughout the entire designation of Interstate 265. The exit numbering for the entire beltway starts at the western terminus of KY 841.
Reconstruction efforts have been continuing on several segments of I-265. The concrete used in the mid-sections of I-64 and the western segments of KY 841 have caused many dips and rough spots to the point where diamond grinding, or the patching and then the regrooving of the pavement was necessary.
Studies have also been conducted for the reconfiguration of the I-265 and I-64 interchange. It is currently an underpowered cloverleaf with no collector-distributor lanes, a relic of the original Jefferson Freeway.
