LEXINGTON, Ky. (Oct. 31, 2024) – Construction for the I-75 widening project in Lexington will require a temporary overnight ramp closure on I-64/I-75 overnight Thursday, Oct. 31. The closure will allow contractors to pave the ramp.

Beginning Thursday night at midnight, contractors will close the northbound I-64/I-75 exit ramp to Newtown Pike, exit 115, for paving work. The ramp will reopen by 5 a.m. Friday morning.

Overnight Thursday, October 31 – Friday, November 1

  • The northbound I-64/I-75 exit ramp to Newtown Pike, Exit 115, will close at midnight.
  • Delays are possible, so please plan a different route.
