Lane closure on New Dixie Highway project at Millers Lane to begin August 20
Louisville, KY (August 20, 2018) - The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) District 5 Office advises motorists of a lane closure next week on US 31W (Dixie Highway) at Millers Lane in Jefferson County. Contract crews will be constructing the foundation for a bus stop as part of The New Dixie Highway Project.
The right lane of southbound Dixie Highway at Millers Lane (mile marker 17.0) will be closed beginning at 9 a.m. on Monday, August 20. This lane closure will last approximately one week while crews build the concrete pad for a new bus rapid transit station at this intersection.
The New Dixie Highway Project is designed to improve safety and traffic efficiency along one of the city's busiest corridors, and will include new fiber-linked traffic signals, new concrete and landscaped medians, and a bus rapid transit line from TARC.
Construction on Dixie Highway began in early January with crews mainly working in two different locations between Greenwood Road and Blanton Lane and between Heaton Road and Upper Hunters Trace. They have been installing new drainage structures, replacing curb and gutters, constructing new sidewalks and upgrading traffic signals.
The date and duration of this work may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen delays occur. More information is available through the project website (www.TheNewDixieHighway.com) and social media channels, including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
