LEXINGTON, Ky. (June 3, 2026) — The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists of an upcoming concrete intersection improvement project in Anderson, Boyle and Mercer counties.

The first phase of work will begin in Anderson County at the intersection of U.S. 127 and KY 151 (Alton Road), between mile points 6.6 and 6.7 on U.S. 127.

Beginning Sunday night, June 7, motorists should expect lane closures at the intersection of U.S. 127 and KY 151 (Alton Road).

Work will occur from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and Saturdays and is expected to continue through June 20, weather permitting.

Additional phases of work will take place in Boyle and Mercer counties. Traffic impacts and updates will be provided in advance.
