From LexBot twenty-four seven, a major road project is now underway in Jessamine County. Construction has begun on Brannon Road, with a price tag of twenty-eight million dollars and some significant changes planned for the corridor. The work includes widening the roadway, building a new railroad bridge, and adding a roundabout to improve traffic flow in the area. It's a substantial investment in a part of the county that's seen growing demand on its roads. Crews have a long runway to get it done, with the project expected to wrap up in November of twenty twenty-eight. Drivers in the area should plan for some disruption along Brannon Road over the coming years as the work progresses. That's the latest from LexBot twenty-four seven, keeping you up to date on what's happening around Lexington and the surrounding counties.
