Upcoming closure: Washington Avenue
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Aug. 7, 2025) – Contractors are scheduled to install a communications duct bank on Washington Avenue Saturday, Aug. 9. This will require temporary closure of that street from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.
This work is weather-dependent. If the project cannot be completed by Saturday evening, work will continue Sunday, Aug. 10. If it cannot be completed by the end of the weekend, contractors will install a steel plate over the work area to allow one lane of traffic to travel that roadway until the work is finished.
Parking permit holders who typically park in this area will need to make alternate arrangements during this time.
