700 W Liberty St issued for MSD flood gate testing annual road closure permit

Louisville & Jefferson County MSD has an annual permit to test and practice installing flood gates into the Ohio River flood protection wall, with the record tied to their office at 700 W Liberty St. The permit allows short-term road closures and equipment set-up at various metro locations, is limited to MSD crews only (no subcontractors or pavement cuts), runs from May 12 to Dec. 31, 2026, and requires traffic control to follow the latest MUTCD rules — so expect occasional brief closures where they’re practicing gate placement.
