LEXINGTON, Ky. — Lextran announced Thursday that the Downtown Transit Center will experience a power outage tonight beginning at 7 p.m. for approximately three hours due to scheduled maintenance.

The customer waiting area and public restrooms will close at 6 p.m., with power expected to be restored once maintenance work is completed. The Transit Center, located at 150 East Vine Street, will have no power during the outage, affecting interior and exterior lighting, information kiosks and other powered amenities.

All Lextran buses will continue to run as regularly scheduled despite the outage, ensuring that the system's approximately 13,100 weekday riders maintain access to the system's 25 bus routes across the city.

The brief power disruption comes as Lextran recently completed a major renovation of the Downtown Transit Center, which reopened to the public in January after months of construction. The facility's customer service desk is normally open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 5:45 p.m., and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Lextran apologized for the inconvenience and thanked riders for their patience during the maintenance work.
