LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – Two lanes of Dixie Highway have reopened.

According to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, one lane has been opened in each direction between KY 44 and the Salt River in Jefferson County as of Thursday evening.

A speed limit of 35 miles per hour is being strictly enforced on the opened lanes.

The lanes were closed due to cleanup from a train derailment on October 29.

A half mile evacuation order for West Point and Louisville around the derailment site has also been lifted.
