Winslow Street Closing April 14-15
LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 10, 2020) — Winslow Street will be closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic Tuesday, April 14, and Wednesday, April 15, as contractors dismantle a tower crane in that area near the University of Kentucky campus.
This work is part of the South Limestone Garage (PS #5) expansion construction project, which will add approximately 900 additional parking spaces, plus retail and university innovation areas to the structure. The project is expected to be complete in August.
Commuters should anticipate some traffic impacts in this area and allow additional travel time.
