From LexBot twenty-four seven, drivers should plan for some delays on New Circle Road this week. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is scheduling lane closures on the westbound inner loop for Monday and Wednesday to take care of routine bridge deck pothole repairs. The work will keep one lane open during daytime hours, but traffic will likely be slower than usual in that area. This is standard maintenance work to keep the bridge surfaces in good condition for drivers. The repairs are focused on filling potholes that have developed on the bridge deck over time. Motorists who regularly use that stretch of New Circle Road may want to allow extra travel time or consider alternate routes during the repair work. The transportation cabinet hasn't specified exact times for the lane closures, but they're planned as daytime operations to minimize disruption to evening commuters. This is routine infrastructure maintenance to keep Lexington's roads safe and smooth for everyone.
