A new travel pattern will be put into place on Old Lexington Pike.

Local traffic may access Old Lexington Pike via Shorland Drive as well as Chambers Rd. but there will be no access for truck traffic to Old Lexington Pike at Chambers Rd.

Transport Dr. at US 25 is CLOSED. The closure is expected to remain in place indefinitely per order of the Boone County Sheriff as a result of multiple vehicles attempting to travel around construction barricades. Traffic should use Logistics Blvd.

The existing intersection of Richwood Rd. and Dixie Hwy. (US 25) is permanently closed.

Traffic on US 25 is using the new pavement between Duffel Ln. and Logistics Blvd. Signage has been put into place to direct drivers through the new traffic pattern, and a new traffic signal is operational at the intersection of Best Pal Dr. and Richwood Rd.

This travel pattern is expected to be in place through project completion, which is expected in late summer 2023.

The railroad crossing at Richwood Rd. and US 25 is permanently closed.

During construction, traffic will cross the railroad tracks at the intersection of Shorland Dr./Winning Colors Dr., where traffic signals are operational and timed to help ease congestion and support traffic flow through the intersection.

This closure is needed to allow for major intersection improvements at Richwood Rd. and US 25.
