LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Improvements to an accident-prone Louisville roadway were delayed.
Work to "right-size" an intersection at Taylor Boulevard and Winkler Avenue in south Louisville near Churchill Downs was planned to begin in late-August.
In the past five years, there have been over 700 crashes in the 1.7-mile stretch. The current four lanes of traffic will be redesigned into three lanes, one lane going in each direction, along with a turn lane.
The work was delayed one-three weeks to avoid causing traffic problems for people going to the Kentucky State Fair.
The project is expected to only last a weekend.
