Louisville Metro Department of Public Works published its Works Week newsletter dated Oct. 14, 2026, with several near-term transportation and recycling notices for Jefferson County.
CycLOUvia. The Louisville Metro Department of Transportation is hosting CycLOUvia on Bardstown Road on Sunday, Oct. 18, from 2 to 6 p.m., from Grinstead Drive to Douglass Loop. The stretch will be closed to vehicle traffic for walking, biking, rolling, skating and dancing; Eastern Parkway remains open to cross traffic. A brand unveiling near Carmichael's Bookstore on Longest Avenue is listed for 2:30 p.m.
Reimagine 9th Street. LouDOT says the first phase converting Muhammad Ali Boulevard and Chestnut Street/River Park Drive from one-way to two-way is underway. Muhammad Ali Boulevard is expected to reopen to two-way traffic Oct. 20; crews then move to Chestnut Street/River Park Drive, with overall completion expected by early November. The project is largely federally funded, including a $15.6 million RAISE grant, with a total cost near $25 million.
Pop-Up Drop-Off. The next Pop-Up Drop-Off is Saturday, Oct. 17, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Newburg Road. Bulky plastics are accepted again; Goodwill Industries of Kentucky will collect gently used donations on site. Notice Nearby left out the street number; it is listed in the Works Week email.
