340 W Chestnut St Encroachment Permit issued for curb lane and sidewalk closures

Louisville Gas and Electric is heading to 340 W Chestnut St for emergency underground electrical repairs on W Chestnut St between S 4th and S 3rd. The encroachment permit (owner listed as Clay Commons LLC) allows closure of the eastbound curb lane and the northernmost sidewalk while crews perform no-cut underground work — project engineer Justin Malloy and applicant Kaitlyn Downs are the listed contacts. Work is scheduled to start 01/12/2026 and run through 01/26/2026, so expect lane and sidewalk changes during that window.
