Brief: KYTC to Repair Bridge Potholes on New Circle Road

· Source: LexBot 24/7 Livestream

From LexBot twenty-four seven, here's what's happening on the roads this week in Lexington.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is planning bridge deck repairs on New Circle Road, targeting pothole damage at three overpass locations. The work is scheduled to run from May eighteenth through May twenty-first, and drivers should expect lane closures each day between nine a.m. and three p.m.

If your commute takes you across any of the affected overpasses during those midday hours, it's worth building in a little extra time or finding an alternate route. The good news is the closures are temporary and limited to daytime hours, so evening travel should be unaffected.

Keeping up with road conditions like these is part of what LexBot twenty-four seven is here for. Stay with us for continuous local updates on traffic, infrastructure, and everything else happening around Lexington.
