Dear Neighbor,
Please take note that the Buechel Bypass will be closed this weekend for repairs to the bridge.
We also have a number of upcoming developments in and near our district. Those are for your information and to let you know how you can weigh in on these proposals, if you choose to do so.
Enjoy the weekend,
 Brent T. Ackerson
26th District Councilman
LOUISVILLE, KY (Jan. 26, 2023) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists of the weekend closure of the bridge carrying Buechel Bypass (U.S. 31E/U.S. 150) over a set of railroad tracks in Jefferson County.
The bridge will be closed from 7 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 28, to 7 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 29, from mile point 10.4 to mile point 10.5. That’s between the cross streets of Plaza Avenue and Hikes Lane. During the bridge closure, signs in the area will direct drivers to utilize Hikes Lane, Shepherdsville Road, Buechel Bank Road and Progress Boulevard as the posted detour.
When the Buechel Bypass bridge reopens, the closure of a southbound lane, northbound lane and the northbound off-ramp to Progress Way will be reinstituted. One lane of traffic on the bridge will remain open in both directions.
The various closures were instituted after a February 2021 inspection found deterioration on one of the bridge’s pier caps. The repairs were initially delayed as KYTC and the contractor sought approval from the Norfolk Southern Railroad to work on the bridge section over the tracks. Last year, crews began working under the bridge, in an area not visible to motorists crossing the span. Those repairs have now advanced to a point where the weekend closure of the entire bridge is necessary. The repairs are expected to be completed in spring 2023.
The date and duration of this work may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen delays occur.

The Louisville Asset Building Coalition’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program, or VITA, provides trained, IRS-certified volunteers who offer free tax services at 11 sites across the city. VITA is available to individuals and families who earned less than $66,000 in 2022.
VITA volunteers will also help determine if residents are eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), a refundable federal tax credit for low- and middle-income working individuals and families. Eligibility for the EITC is based on income, the number of family members and other criteria, such as the age of household members. Working families who earn up to $57,400 may be eligible, and the average credit last year was $2,800.
Tax filing season is now officially underway and the deadline to file this year is April 18. VITA sites will prepare in-person free tax filing, by appointment only, at several sites. Most of the sites will provide free tax filing through drop-off services.
The VITA free tax preparation sites are located at:
- Americana Community Center, 4801 Southside Drive
- Edison Center, 701 W Ormsby Ave., Ste 201
- Goodwill Resource Center, 909 E. Broadway
- Louisville Urban League, 1535 W. Broadway
- Oldham County LaGrange Library, 308 Yager, LaGrange
