Complex Drive to be Closed May 11-29

LEXINGTON, Ky. (May 11, 2015) — Complex Drive will be closed from University Drive to Sports Center Drive from Monday, May 11 through Friday, May 29. The closure is due to water line work in the area; a portion of Complex Drive, from University Drive to the Johnson Center Loop, will be under construction. Anyone traveling from University Drive to Sports Center Drive should use Cooper Drive.

Parking on Complex Drive, the Johnson Center Loop and in the Complex service areas is prohibited for the duration of the construction project.

Only emergency traffic will be allowed access to the open portion of Complex Drive during this time. The open portion of Complex Drive will be changed to two-way traffic with a turn-around using the Johnson Center Loop. Emergency vehicles will enter and exit the open portion of Complex Drive from Sports Center Drive.

The CATS Summer/Break Route will not be affected by this road closure.

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.

The project is expected to conclude by Friday, May 29, but as with all construction, the work is weather-dependent and timetables are subject to change.
