I-264 EAST COLLECTOR-DISTRIBUTOR ROAD TO CLOSE NIGHTLY
Detour at 64/264 Interchange will allow crews to set girders for new I-64 west ramp

The outside lanes of I-264 east, also known as the I-264 east collector-distributor road (CD road), will close at the I-64 interchange. The closure will reoccur nightly for approximately one week beginning Wednesday, April 10.

The nightly closures will allow crews to set girders over the roadway for construction of the new I-64 west ramp to I-264 east.

To bypass the closure, signs will detour traffic from the CD road to I-64 east and the Indian River Road exit. Vehicles will be directed back to I-64 west from Indian River Road and to the exit for I-264 east and Newtown Road.
