Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The City of Owensboro released two statements this week that may be of interest to you, especially if you hear loud noises in your neighborhood or see construction at railroad tracks.

Pyrotechnics Used to Control Blackbirds
In the interest of human health and safety, a pyrotechnic event, which is part of the City of Owensboro’s blackbird control program, will take place on Monday, March 7, 2016, in the area from Booth Avenue to Griffith Avenue and from Frederica Street to Lewis Lane in the late afternoon.

A wildlife specialist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s APHIS Wildlife Services will set off pyrotechnics each evening. Residents in the area should expect the loud noises and flashing lights from the controlled pyrotechnics during that time.

CSX RAILROAD WORK Beginning
Also, a contractor with CSX Railroad has begun work on rail crossings throughout the City of Owensboro. The cutting of the streets is in preparation for rail replacement later this month.

The following streets will be affected:

  • J.R. Miller Boulevard
  • Daviess Street
  • Allen Street
  • 10th Street
  • West 9th Street
  • Maple Avenue
  • Plum Street
  • Moreland Avenue
  • George Street
  • Crabtree Avenue
  • 7th Street
  • West 5th Street
  • West 2nd Street
  • Rinaldo Road
  • Booth Avenue
  • Griffith Avenue

Traffic will be able to pass as directed by flaggers in the work area.

Please use caution and attention in these areas. Rail replacement work is expected to continue through May 2016. More detailed information on closures to follow.
