CSX engineering has had to postpone the work scheduled at the Washburn Lane
crossing until mid-October. CSX is waiting for materials to be delivered to the Louisville area before they can begin the work. Once the work begins the crossing and intersection will be shut down for 5 days as
crews make safety improvements to the crossing and the roadway to comply with
the safety features needed to meet quiet zone requirements. The project is
being funded by a partnership with the City of Lyndon, the City of St. Matthews
and Metro Louisville. Each of the three cities is contributing $70,000 to pay
for the road improvements.
Councilwoman
Leet also secured $85,000 in this fiscal year budget to resurface Washburn
Avenue from the crossing to New LaGrange Road. Metro Louisville road crews will
come back through to finalize paving later this fall.
Once the crossing improvements are made CSX has
30 days to come into compliance with the quiet zone rules. If you have any
question regarding the construction, road resurfacing or quiet zone
requirements please contact the District 7 office at (502) 574-1107.
