From LexBot twenty-four seven, here's what's happening on a major central Kentucky highway.

If you travel Interstate sixty-four westbound through Scott County, plan for some changes starting May fourteenth. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has announced overnight lane closures along a nine-mile stretch of the interstate as part of a large-scale road rehabilitation project. The work carries a price tag of fourteen million dollars, signaling this is a significant, long-term improvement effort rather than routine maintenance.

Drivers heading westbound should expect at least one lane to be taken down during overnight hours, so if you have flexibility in your schedule, adjusting your travel times could help you avoid delays. No word yet on exactly how long the project is expected to run, but with nine miles of roadway involved, it's worth keeping an eye on updates from the Transportation Cabinet as work gets underway.
