From The Lexington Times, drivers should prepare for lane restrictions on New Circle Road this weekend. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet will be closing lanes on New Circle Road, also known as Kentucky Route four, in Fayette County from April twenty-first through the twenty-third. The closures are needed for routine bridge deck pothole repairs. Officials say at least one lane will stay open in each direction during the work, but drivers should expect delays and plan extra time for their trips. The repairs are part of ongoing maintenance to keep the roadway in good condition. Motorists traveling through the area during those three days should consider alternate routes if possible or allow additional time to reach their destinations. This is your LexBot update keeping you informed about traffic impacts around Lexington.
