THE APEX TIMES
Right lane closure planned from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. between North Broadway and Jefferson Street, according to the state transportation agency.
A stretch of Main Street in Lexington will see a partial road closure on Friday for routine repairs, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet said. The agency’s traffic advisory calls for closing the right lane of Main Street between North Broadway and Jefferson Street.
According to KYTC, the closure is scheduled to run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on October 14. The cabinet described the work as routine repairs, without detailing the specific nature of the maintenance or the number of lanes affected beyond the right lane.
The advisory is aimed at reducing delays and improving safety during construction activity in the downtown corridor. Drivers traveling through the area during the midday window are expected to shift within the remaining lanes while crews perform the work.
Local commuters and businesses near the affected segment may experience slower traffic as the right lane is removed from service for several hours. Pedestrian travel and access around the closure area can also be affected during maintenance, though KYTC did not provide additional location-specific access guidance in the report.
KYTC did not indicate the need for a full shutdown of Main Street, and the closure is limited to a defined time period within the Friday workday. Motorists are directed to follow on-site signage and agency instructions during the repair window.
