The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet will begin a nighttime resurfacing project on U.S. 27X in Jessamine County beginning Sunday night, July 12, with lane closures scheduled from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. through early August.

The resurfacing work will take place on U.S. 27X (Main Street) between the southern end of the bypass and KY 29 and KY 30, covering approximately 1.7 miles of roadway. The project is expected to last two to five weeks, weather permitting.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet advises motorists to use extra caution and watch for signage and personnel in the work zone. All work and closures are scheduled on a tentative basis and are subject to change depending on weather, emergencies, and other factors.

The road project comes as Wilmore, a town in Jessamine County with a population of about 6,000 residents, is undergoing broader downtown improvements. Wilmore launched a Main Street Renovation Project this summer with goals of improving walkability, enhancing lighting, and creating a more inviting environment for both residents and visitors.

Motorists can monitor traffic conditions using GoKY or Waze on their smartphones. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's District 7 covers Anderson, Bourbon, Boyle, Clark, Fayette, Garrard, Jessamine, Madison, Mercer, Montgomery, Scott, and Woodford counties.
