Kentucky Transportation Cabinet schedules overnight paving work on Leestown Road corridor

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has scheduled overnight maintenance work on a stretch of Leestown Road in Fayette County, with crews set to begin Monday evening and continue through early Tuesday morning.

According to the cabinet, the work will take place on Leestown Road from Ruffian Way to just before Browns Mill Road at mile points 4 to 8.1. The project is planned to start at 6 p.m. and conclude by 7 a.m. on Tuesday.

The cabinet’s notice indicates the work will occur during overnight hours, a scheduling choice intended to reduce disruption during the daytime commute. During the overnight period, drivers in the area may encounter slowed traffic or changes in roadway access as engineering teams complete their assessment and perform the scheduled work.

WKYT reported that more updates will be provided as crews complete their assessment, indicating that additional information may be released closer to the work window if conditions change or if the work plan is adjusted.

The cabinet did not provide specific details in the notice about the type of maintenance being performed on the segment, but the location and timing were described as part of the scheduled road work activities along the corridor.

With the work window set for late Monday into early Tuesday, officials are expected to rely on overnight signage and coordination to manage the roadway during construction hours. Motorists who travel through the corridor during the evening start time or the morning end time are likely to see the most near-term impact.

Residents and drivers can expect the operational phase of the project to be concentrated within the scheduled timeframe, with any follow-on steps or additional notifications tied to what the engineering team determines during the assessment and completion of the overnight work.
