=== Kentucky portion === Originally signed as KY 841, the Jefferson Freeway was initially constructed in the 1960s in two sections—one between [[Kentucky Route 155|KY 155]] (Taylorsville Road) and [[U.S. Route 60 in Kentucky|US 60]] (Shelbyville Road) and a second section between [[Kentucky Route 1447|KY 1447]] (Westport Road) and [[U.S. Route 42 in Kentucky|US 42]]—as short connectors to the eastern suburban expansion as well as a [[Kentucky Truck Assembly|new Ford plant]]. By 1970, [[Interstate 264 (Kentucky)|I-264]] had become very congested and was in need of reconstruction and other improvements. I-265 was proposed as an outer beltway to provide pass-through motorists relief from the congestion of I-264. Construction started in the early 1980s and was finished later that decade and signed in 1987. {{Infobox road small |state=IN |type=IN |route=265 |location=[[Clarksville, Indiana|Clarksville]]—[[Utica, Indiana]] |length_mi=6.2 |length_ref= |length_round= |formed=1977 |deleted=2023 }}
