Hilltop Avenue Construction to Impact Traffic Feb. 2-14

of

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Feb. 2, 2015) Due to construction work on The 90 dining facility, a portion of Hilltop Avenue will be restricted to one lane from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. daily, starting Monday, Feb. 2, and continuing through Saturday, Feb. 14. The closure is related to the installation of a sanitary sewer line.

One lane of traffic will remain open at all times. Flagmen will assist with directing traffic, and will be present at the intersections of Hilltop Avenue and University Avenue and Hilltop Avenue and Woodland Avenue during working hours. Any traffic stops will be limited to 5-10 minutes.

Anyone who normally travels in the vicinity should allow extra travel time. Drivers and pedestrians are encouraged to use caution as they navigate the area. Signage will indicate sidewalk closures.

The project is expected to conclude by Saturday, Feb. 14, but as with all construction, the work is weather-dependent and timetables are subject to change.
