Traffic alert: Portions of I-64, I-75 in Fayette County will be closed starting Sunday
A major repaving project on Lexington’s two major interstates will mean multiple lane closures starting Sunday night, state transportation officials said.
The night lane closures will continue until Thursday, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet officials said.
Beginning at 7 p.m. Sunday, contractors will close one lane of Interstate 64 and Interstate 75 in each direction between mile marker 113, the Paris Pike exit, and mile marker 115, the Newtown Pike exit.
As work progresses throughout the night, contractors will change which lane is closed. Double lane closures, when necessary, will begin after 8:30 p.m. Work will continue throughout the week beginning at 7 p.m. each evening.
All lanes will reopen by 6 a.m. each morning.
The work is part of the I-75 widening project. When complete in 2026, this project will reduce congestion and improve safety throughout the 2-mile corridor from the Newtown Pike exit to the Paris Pike exit.
