May 16, 2026
LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has scheduled additional lane closures and traffic shifts on Interstate 64 as part of an ongoing rehabilitation project affecting Fayette, Scott and Woodford counties.
The $14 million project spans nine miles of I-64 and includes pavement rehab

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet advises that the slow lane on eastbound I-64 between mile points 71 and 73.6 will close Sunday from 7 p.m. through Monday at 7 p.m. for pavement repairs.
More extensive work is planned on the westbound side. Beginning Monday at 7 p.m., alternating lane closures are scheduled between mile points 69.6 and 64.8 through 6 a.m. as crews prepare for upcoming long-term traffic shifts. Starting Tuesday at 7 p.m., a long-term slow lane closure will be in place between mile points 71 and 64 for pavement repairs and bridge maintenance operations.
Motorists are advised to expect delays and use caution while traveling through work zones. Drivers should reduce speed, watch for personnel and equipment, and allow extra travel time. For real-time traffic updates and road conditions, drivers can visit GoKY.ky.gov.
The Cabinet noted that all work and closures remain tentative and subject to change based on weather, emergencies and other unforeseen circumstances. Additional traffic impacts associated with the project will be announced in advance as work progresses through the year.
