This project is part of Driving Lexington Progress – an effort to improve safety, ease traffic congestion, and add capacity to state transportation infrastructure in the growing central Kentucky city through $170 million in Kentucky Transportation Cabinet construction projects along I-75/I-64, New Circle Road (KY 4), and Leestown Road and Newtown Pike (KY 922).
During construction, motorists should take it slow through work zones, eliminate distractions, obey speed limits, heed all warning signs, and drive safely to protect themselves and workers.
