While traveling through the district recently, you may have noticed our LOUMED Ambassadors sporting a new look. We recently rolled out updated uniforms to match the brand we introduced earlier this spring. While their gear has changed, the team's core mission remains exactly the same. Our ambassador program serves as the district’s front line of hospitality and support for everyone from first-time patients to employees heading home after a long shift. They make LOUMED welcoming and easy to navigate by providing daily district cleaning, mobility assistance, wayfinding to medical offices and walking escorts to vehicles. We are incredibly grateful for our Block by Block partners and the role they play in keeping the district comfortable for all. Help is always just a phone call away. Ambassadors are available daily from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Simply call (502) 791-1435 for on the spot assistance anywhere in the district.
We know getting to and from the hospitals, universities and other organizations within LOUMED is a priority. With the ongoing I-65 Central Corridor project, we want to share as much information as possible to help ease your commute and keep you informed. The I-65 Central Corridor project is a Kentucky Transportation Cabinet initiative to replace aging bridges on a heavily traveled corridor of I-65 between the Watterson Expressway (I-264) and the Muhammad Ali Boulevard interchange in downtown Louisville. The multi-phase project features a scheduled closure of a five-mile section of I-65 from Monday, June 1, through Friday, July 31. Work on the project will continue through late 2027, and associated ramp and intermittent local street closures will directly impact the LOUMED footprint. Continuing construction after the I-65 closure this summer will significantly impact traffic in downtown Louisville and around the LOUMED district. To arrive safely and on time for appointments, shifts and classes, please use the resources below for real-time traffic alerts and facility-specific travel instructions. How to Prepare for Your Visit Check the official source for road closures. Visit I65CentralCorridor.com for real-time traffic alerts, detour maps and official project timelines directly from KYTC. Plan ahead and leave early. Allow extra travel time for your commute. Use real-time navigation. As an official agency partner with KYTC, Waze will provide real-time traffic updates and optimized detours throughout the construction. The Waze navigation and live traffic app can help you find the best route around the closures.
