Safer Drive 65
The Safer Drive 65 project will improve safety and traffic flow along Interstate 65 in Clark and Scott Counties
Approximately 13 miles of the interstate will be reconstructed or rehabilitated, with a focus on widening to three lanes in each direction as much as possible. Other improvements include the superstructure replacements and widening on 4 bridges and bridge rehabilitations on up to 5 more structures.
