From The Lexington Times, drivers should prepare for significant traffic changes on Interstate sixty-four starting April nineteenth. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet will begin lane closures and at least one ramp closure affecting travel through Fayette, Scott, and Woodford counties. The construction is part of a fourteen million dollar infrastructure project focused on pavement and bridge improvements along this stretch of the interstate. While the cabinet hasn't released specific details about which lanes or ramps will be affected, or how long the work will take, motorists who regularly use Interstate sixty-four for commuting or travel should plan for potential delays and consider alternate routes. The project represents a significant investment in maintaining and upgrading the roadway infrastructure that connects Lexington to surrounding counties. We'll continue monitoring this story and provide updates as more information becomes available about the construction timeline and traffic impacts.
