Public invited to review and comment on preliminary roadway designs
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (March 12, 2025) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) will hold a public meeting Thursday, April 10, to update residents and gather input on preliminary designs for the KY 2050 (Herr Lane) improvement project in Jefferson County.
The highway improvement project will improve mobility and vehicular access and enhance safety while upgrading pedestrian facilities along the corridor from the KY 2050 (Herr Lane) and KY 1447 (Westport Road) intersection to Glen Arbor Road. The proposed design includes widening KY 2050 (Herr Lane) and incorporating pedestrian amenities to accommodate all roadway users.
The meeting will be an open house event held from 5 to 7 p.m. at Kammerer Middle School, 7315 Wesboro Road, 40222. Those who are interested may drop in at any time to review the preliminary designs, receive handouts containing project information, and fill out comment sheets. Representatives from KYTC and the engineering design consultant will be in attendance to answer questions.
Following the public meeting, an online survey will be available. After considering public feedback, the final design phase will take place over the next year.
All written comments will become part of the official meeting record. Once compiled, the meeting record and supporting documentation will be made available for review and copying only after an Open Records Request has been received and approved. All Open Records Requests must be submitted to the Transportation Cabinet, Office of Legal Services, Transportation Office Building (200 Metro St, Frankfort, KY 40622), or via kytc.openrecords@ky.gov.
We need your help reporting potholes, use one of the methods below:
- Use an online form by clicking here.
- Use Twitter by sending the location of the hole to @LouMetro311 and include the hashtag #502pothole.
- Call Metro311 or 574- to report potholes or any other issues.
- Email our office at "Jared.Townes@louisvilleky.gov", and we'll turn it in on your behalf.
* When making your report make sure you have an address nearest to the pothole location or a cross street.*

 The annual pothole blitz will kick off Thursday, March 6! We are seeing exponentially more potholes right now than we typically have in the past several years because of record breaking amounts of snow fall and freezing for an extended period this snow season. We are prioritizing filling pot holes on major roadways (high volume/high speed – like Shelbyville road and Dixie Hwy), roadways that have excessive potholes, and responding to potholes submitted to 311.
Please be vigilant when driving:
-
Stay Alert! Keep an eye on the road ahead and watch for potholes.
-
Maintain a Safe Distance. Leave enough space between you and the car ahead so you have time to react to potholes.
- 3. Slow Down! If you can’t avoid a pothole, reduce your speed before hitting it. Hitting a pothole at high speed increases the impact force.
-
Avoid Sudden Braking. Braking hard just before hitting a pothole can push the front of your car down, making the impact worse.
-
Keep Tires Properly Inflated. Underinflated or overinflated tires are more vulnerable to damage. Check your tire pressure regularly.
Report a pothole through Metro311. Choose "Pothole" and enter the address along with a description if needed.
As a reminder, Louisville Water Company's contractor is starting their Residual Line Project on River Road next Monday, March 10. The first construction area is on River Road between Zorn and Blankenbaker. Below is a link to their website that provides a description of the project and provides detour information.
