LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has announced a scheduled right-lane closure on U.S. 25 (Main Street) in Fayette County so crews can perform routine roadway repairs, according to a traffic advisory from the cabinet's District 7 office.

The closure is set for Friday, Oct. 16, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The right lane of U.S. 25 will be closed between North Broadway and Jefferson Street, covering mile points 14.1 to 14.4. The work is weather permitting, and the cabinet says traffic will be maintained through the work zone, meaning vehicles will continue to move past the crews in the remaining lanes.

Motorists are advised to use extra caution while traveling through the work zone. The stretch of Main Street affected runs through downtown Lexington, where drivers, pedestrians and cyclists often share the roadway during business hours.

The cabinet stressed that all work and closures are tentative. Schedules may change because of weather, emergencies or other factors beyond the control of the Department of Highways. Drivers who plan to travel the corridor on Oct. 16 should check GoKy.ky.gov for live traffic updates before heading out.

District 7 covers 12 counties in Central Kentucky: Anderson, Bourbon, Boyle, Clark, Fayette, Garrard, Jessamine, Madison, Mercer, Montgomery, Scott and Woodford. The advisory did not say which contractor or crew will perform the work or how long the repairs will last beyond the single-day closure window.
