Limited Mail Delivery in St. Matthews

Storms Cause Power Outage at Postal Facility

LOUISVILLE, KY — Severe storms that moved through the Metro Louisville area last night have left the St. Matthews Post Office in the dark. Telephone service is also disrupted.

The retail lobby at the Shelbyville Road facility is closed until power is restored. Carriers will deliver all available mail. However, some mail will be delayed due to the power outage.

“We are working to get power generators at the site,” said Rosemary Miller, Manager, Customer Service Operations for Louisville. “We are attempting to put up mail in the Post Office Boxes but some customers may experience delays.”

Customers can visit these alternative sites until power is restored:

Hikes Point Station, 3050 Hunsinger Lane, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday - Friday.
Lyndon Station, 8127 LaGrange Road, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday - Friday.
