Interstate 265 marker

Interstate 265 (I-265) is a currently disjointed Interstate Highway ringing the Louisville, Kentucky, metropolitan area, which includes Southern Indiana. In Kentucky, it travels through Jefferson County, from I-65 in the southern part of Louisville to I-71, where it continues north as KY 841 until reaching the Lewis and Clark Bridge. In Indiana, the highway continues west temporarily signed as SR 265, until reaching I-65, where the road continues west to I-64 as I-265, where it ends.

The entire Kentucky stretch of the road is co-signed with Kentucky Route 841 (KY 841). The highway is named the Gene Snyder Freeway (originally named the Jefferson Freeway), after the former congressman, and usually called "the Snyder" by locals. It is considered part of Louisville's beltline.

On December 18, 2016, State Road 265 was extended east of State Road 62, which crosses the Ohio River connecting with KY 841, which was extended north of U.S. 42 in Kentucky as part of the Ohio River Bridges Project, creating a bypass around the eastern side of the city of Louisville.

Interstate 265 (I-265) in the U.S. state of Indiana presently runs 6.94 miles (11.17 km) from I-64 at the western edge of New Albany to I-65 in Clarksville. From that point east, the freeway continues as Indiana State Road 265, pending approval from the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) to sign it as I-265 now that it connects to the Kentucky portion of that Interstate highway. INDOT lists the official length of I-265 as slightly longer — 0.21 miles (0.34 km) — than the distance the FWHA records.
