Work will occur daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., weather permitting. The closures will affect different sections of the highway each day, moving northward along the corridor. On October 5, crews will close U.S. 25 from mile point 24 (Clay Lane) to mile point 25.3, south of the Kentucky 627 (Boonesborough Road) intersection. The next day, the work zone shifts to mile point 22.5 (KY 2878/Colonel Road) to mile point 24 (Clay Lane), and on October 7, work will occur between mile point 20.3 (Derby Chase Drive) and mile point 22.5. The KYTC notes that work began ahead of schedule on October 6, with crews starting portions of Tuesday's work on the afternoon of October 5. Motorists traveling southbound on U.S. 25 are advised to use a detour via KY 627 (Boonesborough Road) to Interstate 75, then exit at Exit 90A to continue southbound on U.S. 25. Northbound traffic can access the highway via connecting roads including Clay Lane and KY 2878 (Colonel Road), depending on the day. The transportation agency will place detour signage and message boards throughout the project area, with flaggers stationed in work zones to assist local traffic. Property owners within the closure limits will maintain access to their properties, and emergency vehicles will be permitted through at all times. All work remains tentative and subject to change based on weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances.
