LEXINGTON, Ky. — Drivers should expect overnight delays on Leestown Road on Thursday, June 25, as the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet conducts construction for the New Circle Road widening project. The closures will allow contractors to perform bridge work on the New Circle overpass above Leestown Road.
Beginning at 10 p.m. Thursday and lasting until 5 a.m. Friday, both directions of Leestown Road (U.S. 421) will close under the KY 4 overpass between mile markers 1.9 and 1.7. The cabinet advises motorists to use New Circle Road to detour to Georgetown Road (U.S. 25) or Old Frankfort Pike (KY 1681) during the closure.
The work is part of the broader New Circle Road widening project, a multimillion-dollar regional effort to improve traffic capacity and safety as Lexington continues to grow. When complete in 2027, the project will establish a double crossover diamond interchange at Leestown Road, a design proven to reduce crashes. The final configuration will include three lanes in each direction on New Circle Road, a paved median and barrier wall, and new sidewalks along Leestown Road.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet reminds motorists to use caution, watch for signage and personnel in work zones, and plan accordingly for the overnight closure. All work and closures are tentative and subject to change based on weather, emergencies, or other unforeseen circumstances.
