LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has scheduled daytime closures on U.S. 25 (Lexington Road) in Madison County beginning Monday, Oct. 5, through Wednesday, Oct. 7, according to a KYTC District 7 press release. Work will occur from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day, weather permitting.

The closures will allow crews to perform pavement saw-cutting work designed to prevent future joint failures and extend the roadway's lifespan. Different sections of the highway will be closed each day, with the work progressing northward along the corridor.

On Monday, U.S. 25 will close from mile point 24 at Clay Lane to mile point 25.3, south of the Kentucky 627 (Boonesborough Road) intersection. Southbound traffic is being diverted left onto KY 627, then right onto I-75, with access to U.S. 25 continuing southbound at Exit 90A.

Tuesday's closure will affect the section from mile point 22.5 at Colonel Road to mile point 24 at Clay Lane, using the same detour route. Wednesday's work will close the highway from mile point 20.3 at Derby Chase Drive to mile point 22.5 at Colonel Road.

The KYTC notes that the intersection of KY 627 and U.S. 25 will remain open throughout the project. Residents within closure limits will maintain property access, and emergency vehicles will be permitted through at all times. Detour signage and message boards will guide motorists, with flaggers positioned in work zones to assist local traffic.

All work is tentative and subject to change based on weather, emergencies, or other unforeseen circumstances. For live traffic updates, motorists can visit GoKy.ky.gov.
