Lexington, Kentucky – A busy section of New Circle Road will see lane closures starting this upcoming Monday, as announced by officials from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. The left-hand lane on the inner loop of New Circle Road, located at mile marker 17.6 near the Tates Creek Road overpass bridge, will be closed for necessary repairs.
The closure is set to commence at 9 a.m. and will continue until 3 p.m. daily. Motorists are advised that despite the closure, the area will remain accessible; however, delays and potential traffic backups should be anticipated. The lane closure is part of a bridge deck repair project aimed at ensuring the safety and structural integrity of the overpass.
Transportation officials have emphasized the importance of this maintenance work, citing it as crucial for the ongoing function and safety of the road infrastructure in the area. Commuters and residents are encouraged to allow additional time for travel and consider alternate routes if possible during the construction period.
New Circle Road is a significant state road that facilitates daily traffic for thousands of drivers in Lexington and surrounding areas. As such, the scheduled repairs are expected to impact traffic patterns, making it essential for local motorists to stay informed and adaptable in their travel plans.
Updates on the construction and any changes in the traffic situation will be provided by transportation officials as work progresses. Authorities urge cooperation from the public to minimize disruptions and maintain safety during this necessary roadway improvement.
