Public Health Advisory: Seasonal Virus Surge

The Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness has issued a formal advisory following a notable increase in respiratory illnesses across Jefferson County. Surveillance data confirms that seasonal influenza cases have surpassed 1,300 this season. Health officials are also tracking a rise in pertussis (whooping cough) and RSV infections. Residents are urged to remain up to date with vaccinations and practice preventive hygiene. Those exhibiting symptoms are advised to stay home, while masking is recommended in high-traffic congregate settings such as schools and long-term care facilities to mitigate community spread.

Infrastructure and Traffic Impacts

Several significant traffic modifications and infrastructure projects are active today, requiring residents to plan for potential delays:

• I-64 Bridge Inspections: Daily alternating lane closures will occur on I-64 East and West between the 22nd Street interchange and the I-264 interchange (mile points 1.5 to 2.0). These inspections run from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., beginning today through Friday, February 27.
• Overnight I-64 Closures: Motorists should prepare for overnight left-lane closures on I-64 East and West between mile markers 53 and 58. Crews will be conducting storm drain cleaning from 7:00 p.m. tonight through 6:00 a.m. Thursday.
• Long-term Closures: Rudy Lane remains closed to all traffic between Brownsboro Road and Merrifield Road for a water main relocation project. Similarly, Mockingbird Valley Road and Edith Road remain closed for I-71 overpass bridge reconstruction.
