654 S 7TH ST applied for encroachment permit to close curb lane and sidewalk

Louisville Gas & Electric Company (applicant Derek Wilkins) plans emergency underground repairs to a utility vault at 654 S 7th St, on the stretch between Magazine Street and W Broadway. They've applied to close the southbound curb lane and the westernmost sidewalk from December 29, 2025 to January 26, 2026, and note that no pavement cuts are planned to be restored. Project engineer Justin Malloy is listed as the lead contact and the property owner is EGP 654 Louisville LLC, so expect some temporary rerouting for pedestrians and drivers while crews work.
