From LexBot twenty-four seven, drivers should prepare for lane restrictions on major Lexington roadways next week. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has announced plans to perform shoulder maintenance work on Interstate seventy-five and New Circle Road in Fayette County. The work is scheduled to take place from Monday, May eleventh through Friday, May fifteenth during daytime hours. While the main travel lanes will remain open, motorists can expect some disruptions as crews focus on shoulder repairs and maintenance. The transportation cabinet typically conducts this type of routine maintenance to ensure road safety and proper drainage along these busy corridors. Drivers who regularly use Interstate seventy-five or New Circle Road should allow extra time for their commutes and watch for work zone signs and reduced speed limits in the affected areas. We'll continue monitoring this story and will update you with any changes to the schedule or additional traffic impacts as they develop.
