I-265 in the US state of Indiana presently runs {{convert|13.11|mi|km}} from I-64 at the western edge of [[New Albany, Indiana|New Albany]] to the Lewis and Clark Bridge near [[Utica, Indiana|Utica]].<ref name=fhwa /><ref name="indot2015">{{cite web|title=INDOT Reference Post Book – July 2015|url=http://www.in.gov/indot/files/INDOT_Reference_Post_Book_2015.pdf|publisher=Indiana Department of Transportation|access-date=December 25, 2016|archive-date=February 6, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170206235438/http://in.gov/indot/files/INDOT_Reference_Post_Book_2015.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref> Beginning at its western terminus, the freeway is concurrent with [[Indiana State Road 62|State Road&nbsp;62]] (SR&nbsp;62) until exit&nbsp;10.

===Kentucky===
I-265 in the U.S. state of [[Kentucky]] presently runs {{convert|28.6|mi|km}} from the [[Lewis and Clark Bridge (Ohio River)|Lewis and Clark Bridge]] in northern [[Louisville]] to an interchange with [[Interstate 65 in Kentucky|I-65]] in southern Louisville.<ref name=fhwa /><ref name="indot2015"/> The entire freeway is concurrent with KY&nbsp;841.

The Gene Snyder Freeway, in which KY&nbsp;841 and I-265 overlap for {{convert|24.48|mi|km}} between I-65 and the Indiana state line, has seen an increase in serious accidents. The primary factors stem from its low-level grass median which offers little to no protection for crossover incidents. Driver inattention and increased traffic and congestion has led to a decline in the overall level-of-service. In 2006, [[cable barrier]]s were installed in the median for {{convert|10|mi|km}} between I-71 and [[Interstate 64 in Kentucky|I-64]], with further installation possible in the near future.<ref>{{cite press release|first=Doug |last=Hogan |date=January 20, 2006 |url=http://migration.kentucky.gov/newsroom/kytc/cable+barriers.htm |title=Governor Fletcher & Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Move Forward with Safety Measures for Interstate Highways: Median Cable Barriers to Be Installed at Two Jefferson County Locations |publisher=[[Kentucky Transportation Cabinet]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060927055724/http://www.kentucky.gov/Newsroom/kytc/cable%2Bbarriers.htm |archive-date=September 27, 2006 |url-status=dead  }}</ref> For many years, a section of the freeway spanning from exit 30 to exit 32 was signed in [[kilometer]]s, which is unusual in the United States.<ref name="wfpl">{{cite news |last1=Stevens |first1=Ashlie |title=Curious Louisville: Why Is A Stretch Of Louisville Highway Measured In Kilometers? |url=https://wfpl.org/curious-louisville-why-is-a-stretch-of-louisville-highway-measured-in-kilometers/ |work=89.3 WFPL News Louisville |date=June 14, 2019 |access-date=June 17, 2019 |archive-date=June 17, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190617134935/https://wfpl.org/curious-louisville-why-is-a-stretch-of-louisville-highway-measured-in-kilometers/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Most but not all of the kilometer-based signs were replaced with mile-only signage as part of an expansion project set for completion in fall 2024.

'''Kentucky Route&nbsp;841''' ('''KY&nbsp;841''') is a {{convert|38.9|mi|km|adj=mid|-long}} [[state highway]] in the suburbs of Louisville. The route is a partial beltway, encircling Louisville on its southern and eastern sides. Compass direction changes to the north and south of exit&nbsp;23, the Taylorsville Road interchange. The western terminus of the route is at [[U.S. Route 31W (Kentucky)|US&nbsp;31W]] and [[U.S. Route 60 in Kentucky|US&nbsp;60]] in the southwest Louisville community of [[Valley Station]], where KY&nbsp;841 continues to the west as [[Kentucky Route 1934|KY&nbsp;1934]] while the northern terminus is at the Lewis and Clark Bridge north of the north of the East End Tunnel. Even though the section between its terminus at KY&nbsp;1934 and [[Interstate 65 in Kentucky|I-65]] was built to Interstate Highway standards, it is designated only as KY&nbsp;841 due to [[American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials]] (AASHTO) numbering rules.{{Cn|date=March 2023}} The exit numbering for the Kentucky portion of beltway currently starts at the western terminus of KY&nbsp;841. The KY&nbsp;841 designation mostly concurrent with I-265 in Kentucky has remained.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Special Committee on U. S.
