The two-way conversion of Greenup Street between 12th Street and 20th Street in Covington is officially complete, according to a social media announcement from the city on Thursday.

“Scott Street will get similar treatment soon,” according to the announcement.

The project is funded through state appropriations and is expected to cost about $3.36 million. City officials have touted it as a way to calm traffic, improve walking and safety infrastructure, and bolster economic development.

The project will also extend the KY-17 designation west to Madison Avenue, moving the ownership of that stretch of road from the city to the state.

“Drivers are urged to stay alert, watch for new signage and be prepared for the upcoming changes to the traffic pattern,” the city warns.
