KY 1531 (Johnson Road) Planning & Environmental Linkage Study

This study includes an analysis of existing conditions along the corridor that will be used to develop improvement concepts that may support safe mobility and connectivity along KY 1531. Draft goals and objectives will be developed to evaluate the potential effectiveness of the concepts.  This study will consider:  

• Improved mobility and connectivity throughout the corridor, including sight distance and shoulder modifications;
• Impacts to the environment, including the Floyd Fork Watershed;
• Safety improvements for the intersection with US 60 (Shelbyville Road) to include possible realignment of KY 1531; and,
• Intersection improvements with Aiken Road.

• A second public meeting is planned for Thursday, Oct. 15, ​from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Stopher Elementary School, 14417 Aiken Road, Louisville, KY 40245. An online survey will be available and will remain open for 30 days following the public meeting. The study is expected to be completed in February of 2027, following consideration of public feedback received through the Oct. 15 meeting and survey.
