Montgomery Avenue in southern Indiana to close for 2 months for improvement project

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Southern Indiana drivers who normally use Montgomery Avenue will need to plan an alternate route for the next two months.

The road from Marriott Drive in Clarksville to 9th Street in Jeffersonville will be closed for the next two months. The closure took effect Oct. 23.

Detour signs are already up.

Crews are working to improve the infrastructure between Clarksville and Jeffersonville. A new multi-use path and new lighting will be installed as part of the project.

"This project is an important step in improving connectivity between our two communities," Ken Conklin, Clarksville’s Communication Director, said in a written statement. "It will provide a safe and well-lit route for pedestrians and cyclists looking to get from Jeffersonville to South Clarksville or vice versa."

The closure is set to continue until Dec. 22.
