Overnight Lane Closures, Rolling Road Blocks Monday for New Circle Road (KY 4) in Lexington
Beginning 7 p.m. Monday on inner loop between Leestown and Georgetown roads
LEXINGTON, Ky. (June 28, 2026) – Construction for the New Circle Road (KY 4) Widening project in Lexington will require overnight lane closures and rolling road blocks on New Circle Road eastbound (inner loop) on Monday, June 29. The closures are necessary to switch traffic to a newly constructed portion of the railroad bridge so work can continue on the remaining portion of the bridge replacement.
Beginning 7 p.m. Monday, June 29, contractors will close a lane of New Circle Road between Leestown Road and Georgetown Road, and shift traffic off the old railroad bridge and onto the new bridge deck.
Temporary rolling roadblocks will also be used to slow or briefly stop traffic while crews move barriers, restripe if necessary, and complete the traffic switch.
Motorists should slow down, use caution in the work zone, and plan ahead for possible delays.
The work is part of the New Circle Road widening project. When complete in 2027, the project will increase the capacity and operation of New Circle Road and the Leestown Road interchange, improving safety and travel times in this rapidly-growing area of Lexington.

All work/closures are scheduled on a tentative basis, and subject to change depending on weather conditions, emergencies and other factors beyond the control of the Department of Highways.
District 7 includes: Anderson, Bourbon, Boyle, Clark, Fayette, Garrard, Jessamine, Madison, Mercer, Montgomery, Scott and Woodford Counties
