Construction notices fell from 73 to 31 last week. Outages rose. Road and transit have held steady.

In the week of Oct 11, construction notices ran more than twice a normal week, and 39 of the 73 landed on Sunday Oct 11.

Measured from 73 counted construction notices, 39 on Sunday.

Weeks start on Sunday. One thing is counted once per place per day, and something that runs for days counts on the day it started. Brief lane blocks that cleared inside an hour are left out, closures scheduled to run longer than a week are roadworks rather than incidents, an outage counts when it left 10 or more customers without power, and stories about policy or funding are not incidents.

Where Louisville was hit this week

What the map says

Tap a row to see it on the map.

Areas are measured from Jefferson and 6th Streets in downtown Louisville: within 2 miles is Downtown Louisville, within 8 miles (about where the Watterson, I-264, runs) is that side of Louisville, and beyond that is the metro. An item with no coordinates is counted in the totals but not placed on the map. Corridors come from the road a source named. Interstates are split into the stretch north, south, east or west of downtown Louisville, since one number for a whole interstate hides where the trouble is. Districts are Louisville Metro's own council boundaries, from the metro GIS (LOJIC): the 26 district seats, which together cover Jefferson County. Oldham, Bullitt and Shelby counties and Southern Indiana have no district drawn yet and are shown on the metro map.
