Floyd Street, which passes through the heart of the University of Louisville, is a mess right now, with construction crews working in and around massive holes in the roadway, along with lots of barriers for students and motorists.
The intersection of Floyd and Warnock, which has always been devoid of curb appeal, is especially busy, with dozens of safety cones, mounds of mud and construction equipment. For decades, the intersection has been an eyesore, an area crammed with a hodge podge of maintenance facilities.
All of that is about to change with the implementation of a $22 million safety and aesthetics upgrade, $18 million of which is being funded by the state road fund.
