I-265: The outer beltway originally named the Jefferson Freeway and renamed the Gene Snyder Freeway. Highway is also signed as Kentucky Route 841. This is the only Interstate route in the Louisville area to use the technically correct suffix of Freeway in its formal name, rather than the traditional, but misleading term Expressway.
The design for what was then known as the East End Bridge is the result of the $22.1 million, four-year Ohio River Bridges Study, which found that solving the region's traffic congestion would require the construction of two new bridges across the Ohio River and reconstruction of the Kennedy Interchange in downtown Louisville.
The need for an upgrade conflicted with demands for a new "East End Bridge" upstream from the city to connect the Kentucky and Indiana sections of I-265, an idea fought by well-funded preservationists in the area. The study ended decades of debate by recommending that both bridges be constructed.
State law requires the removal of tolls once the cost of construction is recouped; all parkways are toll-free. The system is built at or near-to interstate standards, and it provides access to portions of Kentucky not serviced by interstates. Several parkways have been or are planned to be re-designated as mainline or spur interstate highways.
