Zone 2 (River Road between Blankenbaker Lane and Lime Kiln Lane) will be limited to local access only. There will be staggered barricades to provide residents with access where River Road intersects with Lime Kiln Lane and at Blankenbaker Lane.
Our active construction zone is moving further east this week (July 14 – July 20). See the map below for details. We will be working on River Road between Rockledge Drive and 4909 River Road (slightly west of Virginia Chance School). Note: This will impact the intersection of Glenview Avenue this week. Residents of Glenview Avenue should access their homes via Lime Kiln Lane or Woodside Road to avoid construction on River Road. Follow signage for current entry and exit access.
Use Blankenbaker Lane to access these locations:
- Knights of Columbus
- Rivers Edge Road
- Waterglen Place
- Longview Lane
- Boxhill Lane
- Woodside Road
- Rockledge Drive
Use Lime Kiln Lane to access these locations:
- Virginia Chance School
- Eifler Beach Road

Public invited to review and comment on preliminary roadway designs
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (June 25, 2025) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) will hold a public meeting Wednesday, July 16, to update residents and gather input on preliminary designs for the U.S. 42 improvement project in Jefferson County.
The highway improvement project will enhance safety, improve mobility, and reduce traffic congestion along U.S. 42 from the bridge over Harrods Creek to River Road. The five alternatives currently under consideration include:
- Keep the existing road; eliminate the signals with 3 roundabouts at the intersections and add pedestrian facilities.
- Widening to the south for a 5-lane section throughout; keep the three signals and add pedestrian and multi-use facilities.
- Access Management alternative between Timber Ridge and Fox Harbor.
- Symmetrical widening for a 5-lane section throughout and add pedestrian facilities.
- No build/no changes.
The meeting will be an open house event held from 4 to 7 p.m., with brief presentations at 5 p.m. and 6:15 p.m., at St. Francis in the Fields Episcopal Church, 6710 Wolf Pen Branch Road, Louisville, KY 40241. 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 through Friday, August 1. After considering public feedback, the final design phase will take through the Winter of 2026.
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.
As a federally funded project, anyone interested in participating as a consulting party will have access to information concerning Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.
In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), if anyone has a disability and requires accommodations, please notify KYTC no later than Wednesday, July 9.
