LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Two lanes of I-65S near downtown Louisville were closed for several hours as crews made emergency repairs Friday morning.

According to a release from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC), a coil of steel fell off of a truck and rolled down the interstate, causing damage to the road.

The two left lanes were closed where vehicles enter Kentucky from the Kennedy Bridge, near mile marker 136. KYTC said work was completed just before noon.

Drivers can take a detour through Jefferson Street and are urged to use caution when traveling through this area.
