 After the recent severe weather and rain event, and with the Ohio River expected to crest today, many Louisville Metro roads are closed due to flooding.
Six inches of moving water can knock an adult off their feet and cause vehicles to lose control and stall. As little as 12 inches of moving floodwater can be enough to carry a vehicle away.
Barricades have been put in place to close flooded roads. Please do not move or drive around barricades and road closure signs. By doing so, you could put yourself and others in harms way.
Public Works continues to assess debris and damage caused by flooding. Crews will open roads when they are safe to travel.
You can stay up to date with road closures on our "Street and Road Closures" webpage on louisvilleky.gov.
Significant rain, winter weather and flooding can weaken road surfaces and cause potholes.
By reporting potholes you can help us fix them quickly, ensuring smoother and safer roads for everyone.
You can report potholes by:
- Filling out the online form on Louisvilleky.gov.
- Using Twitter (X) by sending the location of the hole to @LouMetro311 and including the hashtag #502pothole
- Calling Metro311 or 502-574-5000 to report potholes or any other issues.

The Jefferson County PVA will mail property assessments on April 25, 2025. The 2025 reassessment covers MLS Areas 5 & 6, including areas in and around Hazelwood, Iroquois, Auburndale, Fairdale, Jefferson Memorial Forest, Prairie Village,
Lynnview, West Buechel, Watterson Park, Okolona, Highview and Heritage Creek. If your property value changes, a full-color assessment notice on a large postcard that includes a photo of the property and information about the assessment appeal process will be mailed to you. New values will be posted on Jeffersonpva.ky.gov on April 25 at noon.
If you believe the assessed value is not correct, The Jefferson County PVA wants you to know: You have a right to appeal.
The mission of the PVA is to provide fair and equitable assessments for all property owners in Jefferson County. PVA staff works hard to get the value of our property correct. However, the PVA does not know every detail or condition of your property. If you believe the PVA assessed value does not represent the fair-market value of your property, you
have a right to appeal your assessment.
To learn more about property assessments and how to file an appeal, attend one of the PVA’s upcoming community meetings:
April 10: Southwest Regional Library (9725 Dixie Hwy) 6:30pm-8pm
April 15: UAW 862 Union Hall (3000 Fern Valley Rd) 6:30pm-8pm
April 17: DeSales High School Gym: (425 W Kenwood Dr) 6:30pm-8pm
All meetings will also be available on Zoom, visit jeffersonpva.ky.gov to register for virtual meetings. The first step of the appeal process is to complete the PVA Online Conference which is available at www.jeffersonpva.ky.gov from April 25, 2025 at noon EDT, until May 19, 2025 at 4pm EDT.
Most people prefer to complete the appeal using online self-service. However, if you need assistance with the Online Conference, PVA staff will be available and ready to assist you.
