1440 Bland St encroachment permit issued for dirt cut

Louisville Gas & Electric Company (applicant Derek Wilkins) has been issued an encroachment permit to perform excavation at 1440 Bland St, a property owned by 1440 Bland St Louisville LLC. The job is a single dirt cut (about 3' x 5') that will require lane and sidewalk closures—but not a full road closure—scheduled from July 27, 2026 to September 1, 2026 (roughly six weeks). Outstanding fees total $980 and inspections are listed as pending, so expect some local activity and temporary safety closures while work is underway.
