Portion of Chinoe Road in Lexington to close next week for sanitary sewer work
The city of Lexington scheduled a temporary, weekday road closure on Chinoe Road between Hart Road and Fontaine Road from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., beginning Monday and running through Friday.
A portion of Chinoe Road in Lexington is set to close next week while the city performs sanitary sewer work, according to WKYT and the city’s notice.
The closure will affect Chinoe Road between Hart Road and Fontaine Road. Work hours are scheduled from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., starting next Monday, July 31, and continuing each day through Friday, August 2.
The city’s plan is intended to support repairs or maintenance connected to its sanitary sewer system in the affected stretch of roadway. The closure is limited to daytime hours, with the expectation that the road will reopen outside the scheduled work window each day.
The city did not indicate the specific type of sewer activity in the WKYT report, but the project timing suggests crews will be on site during the busiest travel window before and during midday.
With the closure confined to a defined segment and set daily hours, the city’s notice directed attention to the weekday schedule so that drivers can plan around the limited access while construction activities take place.
Motorists who travel in the area are expected to encounter reduced through access along the closed portion during the specified times, which can affect nearby trips for local residents, commuters, and delivery traffic until the work is completed by Friday afternoon.
Why It Matters
