From The Lexington Times, drivers in Fayette County should plan for some construction delays this week as the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet tackles maintenance work on two major roadways. Crews will be working on the shoulders of Interstate 75 and Kentucky Route 4, also known as New Circle Road, starting Monday, April 20th and continuing through Friday, April 24th. The maintenance is scheduled to take place during daytime hours, specifically between 9 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. While this timing should help minimize disruption during the heaviest commuting periods, motorists using these routes during midday hours may still encounter some slowdowns. The Transportation Cabinet hasn't specified exactly which sections of these highways will be affected, so drivers should allow extra time when traveling on either I-75 or New Circle Road throughout the work week. This is just a heads up to help you plan your routes accordingly.
