LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has issued a traffic advisory warning motorists to expect overnight ramp closures on Interstate 75 in Fayette County through April 29 as part of ongoing [I-75 widening and sign installation work](https://www.drivinglexingtonprogress.org/pages/i-75-widening-newtown-pike-to-paris-pike).

According to [the KYTC District 7 press release](https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/KYTC/bulletins/4140ea5), the closures will occur at two key interchanges affecting northbound and southbound traffic. The I-75 northbound on-ramp from Newtown Pike (Exit 115) will close from midnight to 5 a.m. on Wednesday and Thursday of this week, with law enforcement directing traffic during the first closure. Drivers can use the signalized intersection near the ramp during Thursday's closure, or detour using Exit 113 at Paris Pike.

The most significant closure begins Friday at 8 p.m. and continues through 6 a.m. Wednesday, April 29: the I-75 southbound on-ramp from Paris Pike (Exit 113) will be closed for ramp widening work. Motorists should use U.S. 60 (Paris Pike) as an alternate route during this extended closure.

The work is part of a broader [$48.2 million I-75 widening project](https://transportation.ky.gov/DistrictSeven/Pages/I64-I75-Widening.aspx) that aims to address growing congestion along this critical corridor. [The project will add one 12-foot lane in each direction to widen the interstate to eight lanes](https://transportation.ky.gov/DistrictSeven/Pages/I64-I75-Widening.aspx), addressing traffic that is expected to exceed 130,000 vehicles per day by 2040.

The KYTC encourages motorists to plan ahead and use alternate routes where possible. All work and closures are tentative and subject to change depending on weather conditions and other unforeseen circumstances.
