Anyone coming from the Northeast and planning to go through Louisville but want to avoid that spaghetti junction may consider a couple alternate routes. You can either take US127 south from I71 past Frankfort and hook up with the Bluegrass Parkway westbound. The BG is mostly empty and toll free. Probably about 40 miles of 2 lane and 4 lanes after you clear Frankfort. About 15 miles from Frankfort to the BG. The BG will put you on I65 just south of Elizabethtown.
Other route to avoid downtown Louisvile is I265 off I71. Will put you on I65 north of E-Town.
I65 through Louisville is a nightmare. Avoid of you can.
For those coming down I65 the Gene Snyder I265 spans the Ohio river now. It's a toll bridge though. I've been over it 4 times now in the last 2 months and haven't got a bill yet. $4.00 for a single car is what the sign shows. Onstar navigation will have you flying where there's no roads. At least it will if you haven't the latest updates, which I don't.
