LOUISVILLE (WHAS11) -- In downtown Louisville, an ongoing MSD project means more lane reductions and closures drivers need to look out for.

Beginning Friday, July 20, Seventh Street will be down to one lane between Main Street and River Road. That will continue through Nov. 30.

Then on Saturday, the entire section of road will be closed to practice the flood wall closure. It will stay closed through Sunday.

More closures are scheduled for later in July and the beginning of August.

It's all to allow for sewer line work that's part of the Waterway Protection Tunnel project.

Once completed, the tunnel will store excess sewer and rainwater underground rather than sending it into Beargrass Creek and the Ohio River.
