LEXINGTON, Ky. (May 4, 2026) - An interstate ramp closure in Lexington previously scheduled through Tuesday morning is now expected to reopen early. On Monday, May 4, a single lane closure will be in place on I-75 northbound at Paris Pike (mile marker 113) from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. to allow crews to safely reopen the Paris Pike off ramp, which has been closed since Friday night.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 30, 2026) – Construction for the I-75 widening project in Lexington will require a temporary ramp closure on I-75 North/I-64 West at Paris Pike from Friday night, May 1, through Tuesday, May 5. The closure will allow contractors to upgrade the ramp as part of the I-75 widening project.

Beginning at 6:30 p.m. Friday, the off ramp from northbound I-75/westbound I-64 to Paris Pike (Exit 113) will close for construction. 

Traffic will be detoured to Exit 110, using Winchester Road (U.S. 60) to New Circle Road (KY 4) to Paris Pike (U.S. 68). Drivers can also detour via Exit 115, then take Newtown Pike to New Circle Road (KY 4) to Paris Pike (U.S. 68).

Friday, May 1 – Tuesday, May 5

  • At 6:30 p.m. Friday evening, the exit ramp from northbound I-75/westbound I-64 to Paris Pike (Exit 113) will close.
