An upcoming highway improvement project will improve traffic flow, enhance safety, and consider access needs along the U.S. 31E (Bardstown Road) corridor from Interstate 265 (Gene Snyder Freeway) to Hillock Drive in Jefferson County.

Increasing traffic volumes and a high number of access points contribute to frequent crashes along the corridor. As development continues, traffic demands on U.S. 31E (Bardstown Road) are expected to grow even further.

The proposed improvements include:

• • Construction of a right turn lane at Ichabod Drive
  • Installation of a raised median from Major Lane to Hillock Drive
  • Addition of a right turn only lane at Hillock Drive
  • Construction of a left turn/U-turn at the U.S. 31E (Bardstown Road)/Brentlinger Lane intersection
  • Addition of a right turn lane at Bartley Drive
  • Construction of a right turn free flow lane from the I-265 East off-ramp (Exit 17) to U.S. 31E (Bardstown Road)

Public feedback on the proposed improvements is being accepted through June 13, 2025. Citizens are encouraged to share their input by completing the online survey.
