LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet will fully activate a new traffic signal on Versailles Road this week to manage traffic flow at a heavily congested intersection near the New Circle Road outer loop, according to a KYTC District 7 press release.
The signal at mile point 4.51 on westbound U.S. 60 (Versailles Road) will control traffic turning left onto the southbound New Circle Road outer loop (KY 4). The signal will enter yellow flash mode on Sunday, Aug. 9, and become fully operational Monday, Aug. 17.
Once activated, the signal will dramatically alter traffic patterns at the intersection. Westbound traffic continuing outbound toward Man o’ War Boulevard will proceed on continuous green arrows without stopping. Westbound traffic turning left onto the outer loop will use a green arrow combined with a flashing yellow arrow, allowing drivers to turn left on the flashing yellow after yielding to oncoming traffic.
Eastbound traffic entering the southbound outer loop will use a designated right-exit-only lane with lane dividers installed along the solid line approaching the ramp. Eastbound through traffic and traffic accessing the northbound New Circle inner loop entrance ramp will be controlled by the new signal.
The cabinet has installed advance warning flashers for approaching eastbound traffic that will activate before the signal turns red, providing drivers advance notice to prepare to stop.
Versailles Road is part of a larger corridor experiencing increased development pressure, and the signal installation represents one element of efforts to manage traffic on routes serving southern Lexington’s growing areas. New Circle Road itself is undergoing extensive improvements as part of broader transportation infrastructure investments in the region.
All work and closures are tentative and subject to change based on weather or other unforeseen factors, the cabinet said.
