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.

This process will take several weeks to complete as crews progress north to West Broadway.
