LG&E UPDATE FOR EASTWOOD CUTOFF/ GILLILAND & RAMP CLOSURES ON I-71 & I-265 STARTING TOMORROW

LG&E UPDATE FOR EASTWOOD CUTOFF AND GILLILAND

 

The road will not be closing September 16th.  LG&E’s project  is now scheduled to start in the beginning of October.  There will not be a full road closure as previously planned.  LG&E will give a one week notice if a road closure is necessary to complete our work.  As of now, LG&E  is planning on flagging traffic for this project to avoid any detours or road closures.  

 

Metro Councilmembers Kramer, Benson and Piagentini appreciate LG&E’s willingness to adjust their gas line project to better accommodate the residents of this area.     

 

We will continue to provide updates through the enewsletters, social media and Nextdoor about this project and any others as they occur.
