A $3 million Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) project now underway will improve traffic flow and reduce congestion along part of U.S. 60 (Shelbyville Road) in Louisville, while also enhancing mobility for pedestrians and bicyclists.
Utility relocation work by service providers is currently in the final stages, and full construction activities to widen U.S. 60 (Shelbyville Road) are expected to begin on or after Monday, March 2.
As part of the project, Gilliland Road will be realigned to create a direct, perpendicular intersection with Highland Avenue at U.S. 60 (Shelbyville Road), enhancing safety and traffic flow. KY 2861 (Eastwood Cutoff Road) will be straightened to intersect with Gilliland Road just south of U.S. 60 (Shelbyville Road), forming a standard “T" intersection. The intersection is also being studied for the possible installation of a traffic signal. The project also includes additions to provide continuity for the Louisville Loop shared-use path in the area.
Louisville Paving and Construction INC., of Louisville, Ky., will carry out the work under a $3 million state contract, with completion expected this Fall. Project Press Release
Motorists should obey work zone traffic restrictions, follow any signed detours, and plan ahead when traveling.
