Metro Louisville has scheduled two public meetings regarding Lexington Road at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 19 and Thursday, May 18 at the Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana, 2115 Lexington Road.
Information on the project is available online at https://louisvilleky.gov/government/advanced-planning/lexington-road-safety-project
- The Lexington Road project is to improve safety along the corridor while maintaining functionality. It is an implementation of the Lexington Road Corridor Transportation Plan which involved community engagement and was completed in 2015
- The scope of the project is Lexington Rd through the intersections of Payne St and Grinstead Dr
- It is in coordination with a repaving of the roadway slated for later this year
- Travel lanes will be reduced from 4 to 2 in order to calm traffic (speed reductions, lane changing, passing, etc.)
- Left turn bay on eastbound Lexington Rd to northbound Grinstead Dr (to I-64) will be extended to accommodate rush hour congestion
- Dedicated left turn lanes will be introduced at Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana and The Woods at Lexington Road
- New dedicated left turn lanes from Lexington Rd to Payne St
- Remaining right of way will be dedicated to painted medians and bike facilities
- Creates a safer environment for all users
- Average daily traffic (ADT) count is 10,800 but appears to be trending downwards due to Ohio River Bridges Project completion
- Typical 4 to 2 roadway reconfigurations can accommodate up to 15,000 (ADT)
- Improvements in safety and functionality are projected at the intersections of Payne of Grinstead
- Lexington Rd is very similar in design to Grinstead Dr which underwent a similar treatment (2012) and has shown a 67% reduction in collisions
- There will be two public meetings from 6:00 to 7:30 at the Girls Scouts of Kentuckiana (2115 Lexington Rd, Louisville, KY 40206) on April 19th (Wednesday) and May 18th (Thursday)
- Meetings will be an opportunity to see and discuss the design
- Metro has funding to study Lexington Rd from Payne St to Baxter Ave for additional improvements in the future

The blitz is on! Metro Public Works (MPW) is moving through the streets of Louisville in a grid pattern to find and patch as many potholes as we can to repair the damage of winter. They need YOUR help by reporting potholes to MetroCall in one of three easy ways.
- Use the hashtag, #502pothole on Twitter. Include the hashtag along with the address or nearest intersection of the pothole location in any tweet, and MetroCall will get the message.
- The pothole reporting form that can be found at the top of the city website, Louisvilleky.gov. Click on the “Report a pothole” link, put in the location information and press send.
- Call MetroCall at 311 or 574-5000.
The #502pothole hashtag and the online form offer the advantage of avoiding the potential for having to wait on hold on the telephone. Public Works patches potholes on Metro Government maintained roads. Potholes on interstate highways should be reported to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet at 1-877-For-KYTC (367-5982).
