Beginning as early as 7 p.m. on Oct. 22 and continuing through 5 a.m. on Oct. 25, crews will implement a series of progressive, multi-lane and ramp closures on I-264 east for milling and concrete work on the I-264 bridge just west of the Witchduck Road interchange.
To help facilitate this work, the following ramps will be closed:

The I-64 ramps to the collector-distributor road (I-64 west to Newtown Road, exit 284B) will remain open to traffic.
Beginning as early as 10 p.m., mainline I-264 (inside set) will close to all traffic between approximately Military Highway (exit 13) and Witchduck Road (exit 16), with all eastbound motorists shifted to the collector-distributor road (outside set) during this time to get around the bridge work.
The eastbound collector-distributor road will be reduced to one lane Oct. 22-23 as early as 10 p.m. until as late as 6 a.m. Slow rolls with stoppages of up to 20 minutes on I-264 east are scheduled to occur on Oct. 22 as early as 10 p.m., as well as on Oct. 25 from 2-5 a.m.
Starting as late as 8 a.m. on Oct. 23-24, mainline I-264 east (inside set) will reopen to traffic, with three through lanes open to traffic. Two center lanes on I-264 east, just before the Witchduck Road (exit 16) interchange will be closed to traffic, The center, double-lane closure will leave two left lanes and one right lane open to traffic while the work is underway. Signs will direct all I-264 east traffic heading to Witchduck Road (exit 16) to utilize the collector-distributor road.
This lane/ramp closure schedule and traffic pattern will be repeated the weekend of Nov. 5-8.
