The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) reports that construction for the I-75 widening project from Paris Pike (US 68) to the Southern Split in Lexington will require temporary overnight lane closures on I-75 southbound Tuesday, June 30.
The lane closures are necessary for a traffic switch to be made on Tuesday, June 30, that will extend the merge area on Southbound 75 at mile marker 113. After June 30, motorists that routinely access 75 Southbound via N Broadway (Paris Pike) will have a longer acceleration lane to allow for easier merging.
On Tuesday, June 30, at 7:00 p.m., the far-right lane of I-75 southbound will close (mile marker 114 to 113). At 8:30 p.m., the two right lanes on I-75 southbound will close. All lanes will reopen by 5:00 a.m. Delays are possible; please plan accordingly.
The work is part of the I-75 widening project. When complete in 2026, this project will reduce congestion and improve safety throughout the 2-mile corridor from the Paris Pike exit to the I-75/I-64 Southern Split. It is the second of two projects to widen I-75/I-64 to four lanes each direction in Fayette County.
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.
