LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Officials announced the immediate closures of the left and center lanes of I-65 South, in an area known as "hospital curve," on Thursday morning.

The lanes were closed due to "emergency repairs" being made to the bridge deck over Muhammad Ali Boulevard in downtown Louisville, according to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC). 

Hospital curve later reopened Thursday evening.

Officials said this gave the concrete used to repair the deck of a bridge over Muhammad Ali Boulevard "ample time to cure."

Initially, the right lane was closed but was reopened to allow drivers to use the I-65 South on-ramp from First Street.

We will update this story as progress continues on the road.
