615 S Preston St Encroachment Permit filed for U of L Health Sciences Campus

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.
