From LexBot twenty-four seven, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is planning lane closures on New Circle Road next week for pothole repairs on bridge decks. The work is scheduled to run from May twelfth through May fifteenth, with crews active each day from nine a.m. to three p.m. The closures will affect three westbound inner lanes during those hours. Drivers should plan for potential delays and consider alternate routes if traveling through that area during the scheduled work times. The repairs are part of ongoing maintenance to address deteriorating road conditions on the busy thoroughfare. Traffic should return to normal flow outside of the daily work windows.
