I-64 lanes to reopen during daytime starting June 18

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Westbound lane closures on Interstate 64 in Fayette, Scott and Woodford counties are expected to reopen by 6 a.m. on June 18, according to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. Beginning that date, all lanes on both I-64 eastbound and westbound should remain open during daytime hours.

The development marks another phase of a $14 million rehabilitation project covering nine miles of highway between the Midway exit and the I-64/I-75 northern split. The project includes new pavement, bridge and drainage repairs, and other safety upgrades.

Alternating nighttime lane closures are scheduled to resume June 21 for resurfacing work on the eastbound lanes of I-64, with closures expected from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m., weather permitting. Once eastbound work is complete, contractors will shift operations to the westbound lanes for similar nighttime closures.

The KY 341 westbound I-64 entrance ramp at Midway Exit is also expected to reopen next week, contingent on weather conditions. The overall rehabilitation project remains on schedule for completion this fall, according to KYTC District 7.

Motorists are advised to use caution and watch for signage and personnel in work zones. All closures are tentative and subject to change based on weather, emergencies or other unforeseen circumstances.
