Fast, thorough, and under budget!
This January we started work on a new 1,100-foot roadway between Beulah Church Rd. and Cedar Creek Rd. A much-needed alternate route for a neighborhood that deals with regular congestion and traffic.
Today, just about seven months later, we cut the ribbon on Hall Place Boulevard, and we did it under budget!

❄️ Snow Team Update: A snow burst moved through Louisville Metro this morning. Crews are checking routes and addressing problem areas.
If you’re driving, take it slow, leave extra space, and use caution — especially on bridges and overpasses.
🚧 Traffic Alert: Signal pole replacement at Shelbyville Rd. & Evergreen Rd. this weekend (March 14 - 16).
Expect delays Saturday with signals temporarily out. Please use alternate routes if possible.
We are seeing freezing rain across Louisville Metro, and our Snow Team is actively treating our dedicated snow routes.
If you must be on the roads, please take it slow, use caution — especially on bridges and overpasses, which can freeze faster.
A wintry mix is falling across Louisville Metro. Crews are actively salting dedicated snow routes.
Track progress at louisvilleky.gov/snow.
If you must drive, slow down, allow extra time, leave plenty of space between vehicles, and give crews room to work. ❄️
❄️ Light snow this afternoon. Snow crews are out monitoring conditions and treating trouble spots with salt mixed with calcium chloride, which helps melt ice at colder temps. Please slow down and use extra caution if you’re out driving.
Snow Team Update: Overnight crews took over at 7 p.m. and are continuing to plow, watch for refreeze, and salt problem spots. Salt is being hauled from the Mega Cavern to refill salt domes.
Roads are improving, but slick spots remain—please drive with caution!

I want to take a moment to give a huge shoutout to our Snow Team.
This drone video captures our crews performing an echelon on Preston Highway- a coordinated snow-removal formation where multiple plows work side-by-side to clear several lanes at once and safely push snow off the roadway.
Our Snow Team has been working around the clock, logging more than 125 hours by Tuesday afternoon alone. They’ve pushed through harsh conditions and long, demanding shifts to keep our dedicated snow routes clear and safe.
This work is tough, critical, and often happens while the rest of the city is able to stay safely at home. We are incredibly grateful for their dedication, teamwork, and grit.

Louisville Metro continues to work closely with a contracted partner who has committed to staying with us through tomorrow morning to support ongoing snow response efforts. Their crews are assisting with select streets outside of our dedicated snow routes.
At this time, that additional support is focused on roads that help residents access medical facilities, pharmacies, schools, grocery stores, major employment hubs, and other essential destinations, which is an important part of maintaining community mobility during and after this storm.
We do want to help manage expectations. Even with this added contractor support, we will not be able to reach every local road that is not part of Louisville Metro’s snow routes or maintained by a home rule city or homeowners association.
