LEXINGTON, Ky. (Oct. 31, 2025) – Construction for the New Circle Road (KY 4) Widening project in Lexington will require a temporary lane and ramp closure on New Circle Road eastbound (inner loop) on Sunday, Nov. 2. The closures are necessary to get traffic ready to switch to phase 3 of the bridge carrying New Circle over Leestown Road (US 421).
Beginning 7 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 2, contractors will close the left lane of New Circle Road from just before Leestown Road to just past the railroad bridge, between mile markers 6.8-8.2. All lanes will reopen by 7 a.m. Monday morning.
In addition, Sunday night at 10 p.m., the Leestown Road ramp onto New Circle Road (KY 4) (New Circle inner loop) will close. The ramp will reopen by 5 a.m. Monday morning.
Between midnight and 7 a.m., traffic on the New Circle Road eastbound (inner loop) will move to travel on the newly completed middle lane. Caution is urged as drivers acclimate to the new traffic pattern.
