River Road–Zorn Closures Start, Businesses Lose Traffic as Louisville Water Project Advances

The utility describes the residual line as essential to divert treatment byproducts.

Overview

  • Lane closures and detours are now in effect at River Road and Zorn Avenue directly in front of River House and River Road BBQ.
  • WLKY directs eastbound drivers to turn right on Zorn Avenue, left on Mellwood Avenue, then follow to Mockingbird to return to River Road.
  • Louisville Water says crews are ahead of schedule and expect this segment to finish within a week.
  • The company projects overall completion in a little over a year with a target before next year’s Derby.
  • Business owners report revenue declines and access confusion, including a 15% sales drop at River House and expected losses of thousands at River Road BBQ.
