LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 23, 2025) – Construction for the New Circle Road (KY 4) Widening project in Lexington will require temporary overnight lane closures on New Circle Road between Georgetown Road and Leestown Road Wednesday, April 23 and Thursday, April 24. The closure will allow contractors to install beams on the railroad bridge.
Beginning at 7 p.m. Wednesday night, the right lane of the New Circle Road outer loop (KY 4 Westbound) will close between Georgetown Road (US 25) and Leestown Road (US 421). At 10 p.m. the remaining lanes will close, and New Circle Road will be shut down between Georgetown and Leestown Roads. Both lanes will reopen by 5 a.m. Thursday morning. This same closure will repeat beginning at 7 p.m. Thursday night and reopening by 5 a.m. Friday morning.
Drivers on New Circle Road will need to exit onto Georgetown Road heading north and turn left onto Citation Boulevard (KY 1878). From Citation, traffic will detour onto Leestown Road (US 421) and can re-enter New Circle Road there.
