S. Limestone St. Project Update: The intersection of Maxwell and South Limestone streets is now open. S. Limestone St. remains closed to thru traffic from Avenue of Champions to Vine Street. Northbound motorists on Nicholasville Rd./Limestone St. who normally use Limestone to commute downtown should follow the detour signs that identify a detour at Virginia Ave. to S. Broadway. Westbound motorists on Euclid/Avenue of Champions can take Martin Luther King Blvd. to Main St. Northbound motorists should plan on delays. The ongoing reconstruction of Limestone, between the Avenue of Champions/Euclid Ave. and Vine streets, is expected to take approximately one year, but conditions, blockages, and closures will change frequently. The project involves replacing aging sewers and installing conduit for underground utilities. Limestone is closed to thru traffic.
