Charlestown Pike Road Closure Updates

Charlestown Pike: Holmans Lane to Utica-Sellersburg Road

Motorists should expect a soft closure at I-265 and a hard closure at the railroad tracks near the soccer fields. This will be a rolling, leapfrog closure, affecting 300 to 400 feet of roadway at a time.

• Residents on the west side of Charlestown Pike with access to Cooper’s Lane should use it for their commute.
• Residents without access to Cooper’s Lane will be permitted inside the construction zone, though the direction of travel may change intermittently throughout the project.
• Emergency services (EMS) will have access at all times.
• The City is coordinating with Greater Clark County Schools, and no changes to pick-up or drop-off locations or times are expected.
• Trash service will continue as usual for all residents along this corridor.
• During non-work hours, the entire corridor will be open to local traffic in both directions.

Utica-Sellersburg Road

While this roadway is now open to all traffic, we acknowledge that the pavement remains rough in some areas. The contractor intends to complete paving soon, once asphalt plants reopen after the winter shutdown and weather conditions allow.
