Interstate 265 (I-265) is an Interstate Highway ringing the Louisville, Kentucky metropolitan area, which includes Southern Indiana, although the Indiana and Kentucky segments remain separate at the present time. In Kentucky, it only travels through Jefferson County, from I-71 in northeastern Louisville to I-65 in the southern part of the city. The entire Kentucky stretch of the road is co-signed with Kentucky Route 841 (KY 841). The highway is named the Gene Snyder Freeway (initially named the "Jefferson Freeway"), after the former congressman, and usually called "the Snyder" by locals. It is considered part of Louisville's "beltline".
