Striping and paving in the I-Move Kentucky project area will require a lane closure on I-265 and ramp closures at the I-265/I-71 interchange tomorrow.
From 1 a.m. until 8 p.m., I-265 North will be reduced to one lane between I-64 and Shelbyville Road to allow for paving of the right lane. Access to Shelbyville Road and the I-64 West to I-265 North ramp will remain open during this time. From 9 a.m. until 12 p.m., the collector-distributor lane on I-71 South will be closed for final striping. The ramps from I-71 South to I-265 South and I-265 North to I-71 South will also be closed. Work schedules may be adjusted due to weather or other unforeseen events.

On Sunday at 2 p.m., the Kentucky Science Center will show The Addams Family (the 2019 animated version) on its 4-story, precision screen. The movie is rated PG and is just shy of an hour and a half long. Click here to purchase tickets.
Each week, Metro Planning and Design Services (PDS) issues a report listing all new land use applications in Jefferson County. These applications can include changes in zoning, variances, waivers, landscape plans, and more. There are two cases in this week's report involving property in District 17. One is a minor plat request which would allow property lines to be shifted on three lots at 12400 Lucas Lane. The other case is a modified variance to permit a three-lot mixed commercial center (for a restaurant, coffee shop, and office space) at 9903 Brownsboro Road.
Please contact the case manager listed in the report with any comments or questions.
