LEXINGTON, Ky. — Motorists traveling New Circle Road should expect rolling roadblocks on Tuesday, Oct. 20, and Wednesday, Oct. 21, while crews repair multiple potholes, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet announced in a traffic advisory issued Oct. 16. The work is scheduled for KY 4, weather permitting.

The rolling roadblocks are needed so crews can make the repairs safely. Traffic will be temporarily slowed and, at times, stopped to allow the work to be completed, the cabinet said.

On Tuesday, Oct. 20, rolling roadblocks are scheduled from 6 p.m. to midnight along the outer loop, beginning at mile point 7.3 at the Leestown Road exit and running to mile point 2.2 at the Harrodsburg Road exit.

On Wednesday, Oct. 21, the work moves to the inner loop. Rolling roadblocks are scheduled from 6 p.m. to midnight, beginning at mile point 2.2 at the Harrodsburg Road exit and running to mile point 7.3 at the Leestown Road exit.

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 want traffic updates and road conditions can visit GoKy.ky.gov. The advisory notes that motorists should slow down and watch for crews working in the area.

The announcement was issued by KYTC District 7, which covers Anderson, Bourbon, Boyle, Clark, Fayette, Garrard, Jessamine, Madison, Mercer, Montgomery, Scott and Woodford counties.
