1239 ROYAL AVE encroachment permit issued for 3' x 5' dirt cut to repair gas leak

Louisville Gas & Electric Company will repair a gas leak at 1239 Royal Ave, where owners Rebecca Dail and Gregory Zahradnik live; the encroachment permit lets crews close the westbound curb lane during the work. Crews will perform a single 3' x 5' dirt cut between Barret Ave and Eastern Pkwy from May 8 through June 5, 2026 — a focused fix rather than a full street tear-up — and project engineer James George and applicant Zachary Lambertus are listed as contacts.
