LEXINGTON, Ky. — [The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet announced](https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/KYTC/bulletins/4181112) upcoming resurfacing operations on River Road (KY 1541) in Jessamine County, with work beginning Friday, May 22 and continuing through Friday, June 5. Flagging operations will guide traffic through the work zone on the 2.8-mile stretch between mile points 1.4 and 4.2 as daytime resurfacing activities take place.

The state transportation agency urged motorists to exercise caution, reduce speed and watch for personnel and equipment in the work zone. All work and closures remain tentative and subject to change depending on weather, emergencies and other factors beyond the cabinet's control.

This project is part of KYTC District 7's ongoing infrastructure maintenance efforts. [Real-time traffic updates and road conditions are available through GoKY.ky.gov](https://goky.ky.gov/). District 7 encompasses Anderson, Bourbon, Boyle, Clark, Fayette, Garrard, Jessamine, Madison, Mercer, Montgomery, Scott and Woodford counties.

The resurfacing comes as Jessamine County experiences multiple road improvement projects. [Earlier this month, KYTC announced extensive improvements on Brannon Road between U.S. 68 and U.S. 27, including construction of a new bridge over Norfolk Southern Railroad, road widening, and a new roundabout at Clays Mill Road](https://www.wkyt.com/2026/05/18/several-road-work-projects-announced-jessamine-county/). That project is expected to conclude in November 2028.
