The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has announced a scheduled road closure on KY 922 in Scott County on Thursday, April 30 for pavement maintenance work. The closure will affect the roadway between mile points 3.1 and 4.0 near U.S. 460 from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., weather permitting, according to the KYTC District 7 advisory.

Motorists should seek alternate routes during the closure period. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet recommended using U.S. 460, Oxford Road, and U.S. 62 (Cynthiana Road) as alternative routes for those traveling in the area.

The road work is part of KYTC District 7's ongoing maintenance efforts in central Kentucky. District 7 oversees highway construction and maintenance across 12 counties including Scott, Fayette, and surrounding areas. The district performs routine maintenance functions including pothole patching, mowing, and snow removal.

KY 922, also known as Newtown Pike in parts of the region, runs through northern Kentucky and is part of the Lexington-Fayette Metropolitan Statistical Area. Georgetown serves as the county seat of Scott County.

The KYTC advised motorists to exercise caution and watch for signage and personnel in the work area. The transportation cabinet noted that all work and closures are scheduled tentatively and subject to change based on weather, emergencies, and other factors beyond its control.
