LEXINGTON, Ky. — Motorists traveling Interstate 75 in Fayette County should expect overnight delays Monday and Tuesday as crews complete final pavement striping, according to a traffic advisory from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC).

The striping work is the last phase of the I-75 bridge deck restoration project over Elkhorn Creek, which covers mile points 109.5 to 111. The Transportation Cabinet said the rolling roadblocks are needed so crews can safely apply the final pavement markings.

Rolling roadblocks are temporary traffic slowdowns in which a moving work crew briefly stops or slows traffic in one lane direction at a time to allow work to proceed. According to the advisory, the roadblocks will run from 8 p.m. Monday, Oct. 19, to 6 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 20, weather permitting. Work will take place in both the northbound and southbound directions between the southern I-75/I-64 split at mile point 111 and a point just south of the Winchester Road exit at mile point 110.

Drivers should expect possible delays and use extra caution while passing through the work zone, particularly during overnight hours when crews and equipment are operating near active lanes. Commuters and travelers using the I-75/I-64 interchange area should plan for additional travel time on those nights.

The cabinet stressed that all work and closures are tentative and subject to change because of weather, emergencies, or other factors beyond the control of the Department of Highways. Motorists can check live traffic conditions at GoKy.ky.gov.

The advisory came from KYTC's District 7, which covers Anderson, Bourbon, Boyle, Clark, Fayette, Garrard, Jessamine, Madison, Mercer, Montgomery, Scott and Woodford counties.
