From The Lexington Times, drivers should prepare for significant traffic changes along Interstate 64 starting this Friday. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet will begin closing lanes and at least one ramp on I-64 as part of a major construction project affecting Fayette, Scott, and Woodford counties. The work is part of a fourteen million dollar effort to improve pavement and bridges along this stretch of highway. Motorists can expect these disruptions to continue through November, so you'll want to plan for extra travel time and consider alternate routes if possible. The project represents a substantial investment in maintaining and upgrading our local transportation infrastructure. Be sure to stay alert for construction zones and changing traffic patterns as crews get to work on these important improvements to keep our roadways safe and efficient.
