Construction is underway for the Washburn Ave. Quiet Zone

Washburn Ave. Work

CSX engineering began working on the Washburn Avenue crossing yesterday morning. The crossing and Washburn Ave. 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 federal 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 have contributed  $70,000 to pay for the road improvements. 

Washburn Ave. Crossing

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 begin paving along Washburn Ave on October 19, weather permitting. 

Once the crossing improvements are in place 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.
