Temporary Partial Intersection Closure Scheduled at Nandino Boulevard and Newtown Pike Beginning Sunday, August 2

LEXINGTON, Ky. (July 31, 2026) – Construction for the Newtown Pike (KY 922) Widening project in Lexington will require a temporary partial intersection closure at Newtown Pike and Nandino Boulevard beginning Sunday night, August 2. Traffic on Nandino Boulevard will be maintained with one lane in each direction but shifted to one side. This will allow crews to demolish old pavement in preparation for repaving. The intersection is expected to return to its normal traffic pattern within 10 days.  

Beginning Sunday evening at 7 p.m., contractors will close the southern side of the intersection (the side closest to New Circle Road). All traffic will shift to the northern side of the intersection until work is complete. The intersection will reopen on or about August 12.

Sunday, August 2 – Wednesday, August 12, weather permitting:

  • Beginning at 7 p.m. Sunday evening, the southern side of the intersection of Newtown Pike and Nandino Boulevard will close.
  • All traffic will shift to the northern side of the intersection. One lane in each direction will be maintained.
  • The work is expected to be completed on or around Wednesday, August 12, weather permitting.
  • Delays are possible; please plan accordingly.

This work is part of the Newtown Pike (KY 922) widening project. When complete in 2027, this project will add a lane in each direction on Newtown Pike (KY 922) from New Circle Road (KY 4) to I-75, improving safety and traffic flow by increasing capacity to handle current and future traffic volumes. It will also provide improvements to Legacy Trail. Find more information online at DrivingLexingtonProgress.com.

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
