LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has announced alternating lane closures on Richmond Road for two consecutive days to allow crews to complete concrete median work on the ongoing Richmond Road Improvement Project, according to a KYTC press release.
Traffic shifts and alternating lane closures are scheduled for June 17 and June 18 along Richmond Road between mile points 1.4 and 9.2, spanning from Brenda Cowan Elementary School to Yorkshire Boulevard. Motorists heading outbound from Lexington will experience alternating lane closures from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on both days, while inbound traffic will see alternating closures from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The $13 million project involves converting five intersections into restricted crossing U-turns, known as RCUTs, a design intended to improve traffic flow and reduce collisions. The intersections being modified include Yorkshire and Squires, Ellerslie Park and Jacobson Park, Hays Boulevard, and the Brenda Cowan Elementary area.
KYTC officials urged drivers to expect delays, reduce speed and watch for personnel and signage in the work zone. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet noted that all closures are tentative and subject to change depending on weather, emergencies and other unforeseen circumstances.
The broader Richmond Road project is expected to wrap up by summer 2026, completing a series of safety improvements along the busy corridor south of Man O’ War Boulevard.
