The New Dixie Highway Project:
A better roadway for Southwest Louisville
The New Dixie Highway Project is a $35 million project to improve one of Louisville's busiest corridors - making it safer, more efficient and more attractive. The major components of the project should be complete by the end of 2019, but some final pieces are weather-dependent - such as final surfacing and landscaping. These may have to be completed in warmer weather in the spring and early summer of 2020.

Video: U-Turns
The New Dixie Highway Project will add medians that will improve safety and limit mid-block left turns. To reach some destinations, people may have to use U-turns. This video shows how that works at a similar project.
