🔥 Top Scoops in Louisville, KY

Gresham Smith (applicant Brendan Sexton) has filed an encroachment permit tied to the University of Louisville Health Sciences Campus expansion that affects the right-of-way at 615 S Preston St. The project would modify sidewalks, streetscapes, curb lines and street parking and includes utility excavations plus a roughly 400' x 20' street cut along East Gray Street, which means lane, sidewalk and road closures are planned. Work is scheduled from March 2, 2026 to May 1, 2029; the owner is listed as the Commonwealth of Kentucky FBO University and temporary bagged-meter parking is part of the plan.

Louisville Gas and Electric is set to do electrical work on Minor Ln between Brooke Elizabeth Way and Pitchford Rd, closing the westbound curb lane at 5545 Minor Ln while crews perform both underground and overhead work. Kaitlyn Downs is the applicant (Christian Claycomb is the project engineer), and the record notes excavation will occur but with "no cuts" to pavement to be restored. Owner Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Government is listed for the site, and the work is scheduled from December 29, 2025 to February 6, 2026 — roughly six weeks.

Louisville Water Company (applicant Chance Shely) is back with a continuation permit to install a water main on Garland Ave between S 45th St and S 44th St, impacting the block around 815 S 45th St (owned by Michael and Wanda Holt).
