Overnight Lane Closure Scheduled on
I-75/I-64 Sunday, May 11
LEXINGTON, Ky. (May 9, 2025) – Construction for the I-75 widening project in Lexington will require a temporary overnight closure on Sunday, May 11. This closure will allow contractors to shift the existing 3 lanes of traffic closer to the median wall so work can begin on the outside shoulder, sound walls and shoulder barrier walls.
Beginning at 7 p.m. Sunday, contractors will close one lane of I-75 North/I-64 West between the I-64/I-75 Southern Split and Paris Pike (Exit 113). At 7:30 p.m., a second lane will close in the same area. All lanes will reopen by 6 a.m. Monday.
Additionally, at 8 p.m., the ramp from Paris Pike (Exit 113) to I-64 West/I-75 North will close. This ramp will reopen by 6 a.m. Monday.
Finally, at 10 p.m., the I-64 West ramp to I-75 North will close. The ramp will reopen by 5 a.m. Monday. Traffic traveling on I-64 West will detour onto I-75 South, exit at Winchester Road (Exit 110), and re-enter I-75 North.
Sunday, May 11, weather permitting:
- At 7 p.m., one lane of I-64 West/I-75 North will close between the I-64/I-75 Southern Split and Paris Pike (Exit 113).
- At 7:30 p.m., a second lane will close between the I-64/I-75 Southern Split and Paris Pike (Exit 113). These two lanes will reopen by 6 a.m. Monday.
