Will you soon be replacing your
roof? The Louisville Metro Office of Sustainability has funds available in its
Cool Roof Rebate Program available for residents or commercial property owners
in Metro Council Districts 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12, 14 and 15.
The program offers up
to $2,000 for residents and up to $5,000 or $10,000 (depending on the slope of
the roof) for commercial property owners to replace their roofs with cool
roofs. Cool roofs are made with reflective materials and lighter colored roofs
that reflect sunlight and heat away from a building, reducing roof temperatures
and utilities costs. These cool roofs, on both residential and commercial
buildings, absorb less heat and stay up to 50–60°F cooler than conventional
materials during peak summer weather. Stay cool and save money today with a
cool roof with help from our rebate program! For more information and to find
the program application, please visit https://louisvilleky.gov/government/sustainability/incentives#1
or call the Office of Sustainability at 502-574-1976.

Lane closure on
Rockford Lane as part of New Dixie Highway project
The Kentucky
Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) District 5 Office advises motorists of a lane
closure beginning today on Rockford Lane at the T-intersection with US 31W
(Dixie Highway) in Jefferson County. Contract crews will be widening Rockford
Lane as part of The New Dixie Highway Project.
The right lane
of the eastbound Rockford Lane will be closed today, Monday, August 6 and will
remain closed for approximately two weeks. This lane had allowed traffic to
turn left or right onto Dixie Highway or to go straight across into the Rite
Aid parking lot. Motorists must now use the left lane of eastbound Rockford
Lane to make these movements (see map below).
Once the entire
New Dixie Highway Project is complete at the end of 2019, Rockford Lane will
have four lanes at the intersection with Dixie Highway, one westbound lane and
three eastbound lanes. There will be two dedicated left turn lanes from
eastbound Rockford Lane to northbound Dixie Highway and one lane to either turn
right onto southbound Dixie Highway or proceed straight to Rite Aid.
The New Dixie
Highway Project is designed to improve safety and traffic efficiency along one
of the city’s busiest corridors, and will include new fiber-linked traffic
signals, new concrete and landscaped medians, and a bus rapid transit line from
TARC.
Construction on
Dixie Highway began in early January with crews working in two different
locations - between Greenwood Road and Blanton Lane and between Heaton Road and
Upper Hunters Trace. Crews have been installing new drainage structures,
replacing curb and gutters, constructing new sidewalks and upgrading traffic
signals.
More
information is available through the project website (www.TheNewDixieHighway.com)
and social media channels, including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Below is a list of projects overseen by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet happening in Southwest Louisville.
US
31W (Dixie Highway):
Lane closures and sidewalk closures in place between Greenwood Road and Heaton
Road (mile markers 11.7 to 14.5) due to construction for access management and
bus rapid transit lines. Roadway is reduced to two
lanes on southbound Dixie Highway in two locations between Heaton Road and
Upper Hunters Trace and between Blanton Lane and Greenwood Road.
US 31W (Dixie Highway) North: Lane closures and delays
possible at Nobel Place (mile marker 15.7) due to installation of a
micro-trench for conduit and fiber optic cables. Right lane will be closed
daily from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Work is scheduled to begin on Monday, August 6
at Nobel Place. This process will take several weeks to complete as crews
progress north to West Broadway.
For questions or concerns about the paving work on South Dixie, please contact Will Nolan at william.nolan@ky.gov or Sherri Smith
(502) 955-5436.
