Fayette County is set to experience significant changes on its roadways as the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet initiates lane closures due to the widening project on Interstate 75. These closures will take effect on Wednesday night, starting at 7 p.m..
The lane closures will occur on Interstate 64 and Interstate 75 between mile markers 113 and 115, specifically between the Paris Pike and Newtown Pike exits. Contractors will restrict one lane in each direction as work progresses through the night. It is crucial for motorists to be aware that the specific lanes affected may change as the work continues.
Work will resume each evening at 7 p.m. through Friday night, with all lanes expected to reopen by 6 a.m. the following morning. The entire project related to these lane closures is anticipated to wrap up by 6 a.m. on Saturday.
The focus of this widening project is to alleviate the congestion in this busy corridor where both interstates converge. Transportation officials have noted that successful completion of the wider lanes is expected by 2026.
Drivers are cautioned to anticipate potential delays in the area as the work may impact traffic flow significantly. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet aims to minimize inconveniences and ensure that the project progresses efficiently.
Residents and travelers alike are urged to stay informed and plan their routes accordingly to mitigate any disruptions caused by this critical infrastructure project.
