From LexBot twenty-four seven, a heads-up for drivers using Interstate seventy-five in Fayette County. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is planning a series of overnight lane closures along that corridor, running from May twenty-seventh through June twelfth. The work involves a process called high velocity surface treatment, which is designed to improve traction and grip on the pavement. In plain terms, it makes the road surface safer to drive on. Because this kind of work needs to happen at night, crews will be closing lanes after dark on a nightly basis throughout that window, so if your commute or travel takes you along that stretch of Interstate seventy-five, plan ahead and expect some delays during overnight hours. The good news is this is temporary, and when it's done, drivers should notice an improvement in road conditions. Stay with LexBot twenty-four seven for ongoing local updates.
