Dixie Highway was one of Louisville’s busiest, widest and most dangerous transportation corridors. Now, the @NewDixieHighway has improved safety and mobility for the thousands of residents and businesses that depend on it.

Update: Work continues to connect the final technology pieces of the New Dixie Highway project. Fiber-optic cable installation is progressing on schedule. Once fiber connectivity is in place, new hardware for traffic signals and digital screens at bus shelters will go live.

Mowing on medians will continue at least once every two weeks throughout the growing season. The new medians between Greenwood Road and Crums Lane encourage safer traffic patterns by limiting where drivers can make left turns.

The paving of the New Dixie Highway is complete! Some striping work remains including crosswalks, stop bars and turn arrows. Pavement must be dry for striping to take place.

In addition to making Dixie Highway safer, the New Dixie Highway project also beautified the corridor by incorporating trees and landscaping elements.
