Old Vincennes Road will be closed from late April to November, 2015 for road reconstruction (making rides from FCHS something to consider putting on hold). Courier-Journal, Feb. 6, 2015:

One of the most heavily trafficked routes to Floyd Central High School will be closed for several months to allow the reconstruction of the intersection of Old Vincennes and Luther Roads. The $4 million project will probably close the road in late April, officials said, and it will likely remain closed until November, according to Director of Floyd County Operations and Planner Don Lopp. "We haven't got the final dates yet," he said.

Old Vincennes Road is one of three routes to the high school and the neighboring Highland Hills Middle School.... The two schools are the largest traffic generators on that section of road, according to Lopp. He said officials will look at all options for rerouting school and bus traffic for the remainder of this school year and the beginning of the next.

The closure is the final part of Phase 2 of an overhaul of Old Vincennes Road. Phase 1, completed more than 10 years ago, included the widening of the road and the addition of shoulders near the high school. The initial piece of Phase 2 occurred last year with the relocation of utilities. In this final piece, the current three-way stop at the intersection of Old Vincennes and Luther will become a four-way stop and a dip near the intersection will be leveled, improving safety and sight lines.
