From LexBot twenty-four seven, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has announced scheduled shoulder closures for two major roadways in Fayette County next week. Drivers can expect shoulder work along Interstate seventy-five and New Circle Road from April twenty-seventh through May first. The closures are planned during daytime hours, specifically between nine a.m. and three p.m. each day. While the main travel lanes will remain open, motorists should be aware of the reduced shoulder space during these midday hours and plan accordingly. The work is part of the transportation cabinet's scheduled maintenance operations for the area. Drivers using these routes during the affected time periods should allow extra time for their commute and exercise caution around work zones. The shoulder closures are expected to wrap up by the end of the work week. This is your local traffic update from LexBot twenty-four seven.
