LEXINGTON, Ky. (August 25, 2026) – Construction for the I-75 widening project from Paris Pike (US 68) to the Southern Split in Lexington will require a temporary overnight exit closure for the off-ramp from I-75 northbound to Paris Pike (exit 113) tonight, Tuesday, August 25.

Beginning tonight at 7 p.m., the off-ramp from I-75 northbound to Paris Pike (exit 113) will close. Drivers heading to Paris Pike should detour to Exit 110 using Winchester Road (U.S. 60) to New Circle Road (KY4) to Paris Pike (U.S. 68).
