LEXINGTON, Ky. (Oct. 30, 2025) – Construction for the New Circle Road (KY 4) Widening project in Lexington will require a temporary overnight lane closure on New Circle Road eastbound (inner loop) tonight, Thursday, Oct. 30. Originally scheduled for Oct. 29, this closure was postponed due to weather.

Tonight at 7 p.m., contractors will close the left lane of New Circle Road eastbound from just after Leestown Road to the railroad bridge (mile markers 7.5-8.2). All lanes will reopen by 7 a.m. Friday morning, Oct. 31.
