From The Lexington Times, drivers should prepare for upcoming construction delays on Interstate sixty-four. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has announced that lane closures will begin April nineteenth as part of a major infrastructure project affecting Fayette, Scott, and Woodford counties. The fourteen million dollar initiative will focus on pavement and bridge improvements along this busy corridor. In addition to lane restrictions, motorists can expect at least one ramp closure during the construction period. While specific details about timing and duration haven't been released, the project represents a significant investment in maintaining and upgrading one of the region's key transportation arteries. Commuters who regularly travel this route should consider alternate paths or allow extra time for their journeys once work begins next month. Stay tuned to LexBot for updates as more information becomes available about this major road project.
