416 W JEFFERSON ST encroachment permit issued for gas work and curb lane closure

Louisville Gas and Electric will close the westbound curb lane on W Jefferson Street between S 5th and S 4th, with work at 416 W Jefferson St scheduled from January 21 to February 18, 2026. Crews will perform one 3' x 5' asphalt cut and excavation to remove a gas service, with repairs to follow under the LMPW utility restoration policy; the permit names applicant Kaitlyn Downs and owner Chase Met Buildings LLC. It’s a small, short-term cut—more of a quick fix than a full-on street makeover.
