Know BEFORE you go!

 You’ve seen the orange cones and barrels in Louisville and Kentucky’s roadway work zones. You’ve probably seen our roads, streets, and highway workers, too. They’re out on the road every day mowing, repairing pot holes and repairing roads and bridges – making our City, County, and State safer for you and your family.

We understand highway work zones can result in delays and frustrations. Spring and summer mark the beginning of roadway construction season, and there are tools available to help you plan ahead. Louisville Metro has partnered with Waze through the Connected Citizens Program, making it easy to keep up with traffic and street closings around town. Know BEFORE you go, visit: Click Here for road and street closures.

Please understand that when you drive dangerously through a highway work zone you’re putting the lives of highway workers at risk. At the same time you’re risking your life and the lives of your loved ones: that’s because four out of five people who die in highway work zones are either drivers or their passengers.
