According to a [notice from Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/news/daytime-road-closure-alexandria-drive), the road will close from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 28 through 30 between the roundabout at Old Frankfort Pike and Enterprise Court. Drivers can detour using Enterprise Court and Old Frankfort Pike while the closure is in effect. The roundabout will remain accessible in both directions of Old Frankfort Pike and Alexandria Drive toward Leestown Road, and local traffic only will be permitted on Alexandria Drive. Those needing to reach Our Native Lane should use Enterprise Court to access Alexandria Drive. The closure is necessary to stabilize the road shoulders and edges before a more comprehensive rehabilitation project occurs, according to city officials. Once construction is completed on a larger [New Circle Road widening initiative](https://driving-lexington-progress-kytc.hub.arcgis.com/pages/new-circle-widening) at the Leestown Road and New Circle Road interchange, Alexandria Drive will undergo complete resurfacing from Leestown Road to Viley Road. The New Circle widening project, part of the broader Driving Lexington Progress initiative, is [slated for completion in summer 2027](https://www.lex18.com/news/covering-kentucky/in-your-community/ongoing-widening-project-on-new-circle-aims-to-improve-traffic-flow-reduce-crashes-in-lexington).
