Traffic Flow Changes on Woodland Avenue Due to Construction

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Sept. 4, 2013) ― The next phase of the Woodland Glen sanitary sewer project on Woodland Avenue will begin at 9 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 5. This phase will close Woodland Avenue southbound from Columbia Avenue to Hilltop Avenue.

Southbound traffic will be detoured using Rose Lane, Rose Street and Huguelet Drive. Woodland Avenue will remain open to northbound traffic. However, the traffic will be routed to the southbound lane. Motorists should expect delays in the area.

Access to and from the Woodland Avenue Lot (R10) will be impacted. Residents with valid permits may only access the lot by traveling north along Woodland Avenue.

University of Kentucky Parking and Transportation Services says during this phase of the construction, the CATS bus stops at the Boone Center, Columbia Avenue and Dixie Court and the 90 will be out of service. Riders can view the actual location of all CATS buses on all routes by using Cat Tracker, a real-time GPS-based bus locating system. Visit http://uky.transloc.com. You can also track the buses via the free Transloc iPhone, Android and BlackBerry apps, by using your smart phone to scan the QR codes found on each bus stop sign or by using the SMS codes found at each bus stop.

This phase is expected to last approximately two months. Anyone who normally travels in the vicinity should allow extra time for their commute. Drivers and pedestrians are encouraged to use caution as they navigate the area.
