LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Louisville drivers had the chance to weigh in Wednesday evening on changes they think could make the Outer Loop safer.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet held a public meeting as part of its Outer Loop Transportation Study.
The goal of the study is to identify possible changes that would make a three-mile stretch of the Outer Loop between Interstate 65 and Shepherdsville Road (KY 2052) safer.
KYTC's study will "identify short-term and long-term highway safety and mobility enhancements for the roughly three-mile corridor."
As part of the study, the agency will conduct a full analysis of the corridor's current conditions. Those results will help them come up with solutions to enhance safety, ease congestion and improve traffic flow.
The study will be conducted over a three-mile portion of the Outer Loop starting at Minor's Lane, over I-65 and through the Preston Highway intersection to Shepherdsville Road.
"One of the reasons why we have a public meeting for roadway improvement is no one knows the road better than the people who drive on it every day, or the people who live here," Larry Chaney, with KYTC, said.
Drivers can share their thoughts through an online survey until Oct. 10. Another public meeting on the project will also be held next year.
Feedback gathered through the survey and at the public meeting will help KYTC develop potential concepts.
