Paris Pike exit on I-75 in Lexington to close overnight starting 7 p.m. Tuesday for construction

A northbound exit ramp from Interstate 75 to Paris Pike in Lexington is scheduled to close overnight beginning at 7 p.m. Tuesday, according to LEX18. The closure will affect the Paris Pike Exit for drivers traveling on I-75 northbound within Lexington.

LEX18 reported that the shutdown is tied to an overnight construction project, with the ramp expected to remain closed during the overnight work period. The report did not specify the contractor, the type of work being performed, or the exact length of the closure beyond the overnight window.

For motorists, the closure means the affected ramp access from I-75 northbound to Paris Pike will be unavailable during the construction hours. That may require drivers to adjust their routes if they planned to use that particular exit at the scheduled time.

The timing of the shutdown, late evening through overnight hours, can affect not only commuters but also freight and delivery traffic moving through the Lexington area. It may also have implications for local traffic patterns and access to destinations off Paris Pike near the interstate connection during the closure period.

City and regional transportation planning typically requires overnight work windows to limit conflict with higher daytime traffic volumes, and overnight ramp closures are often used to complete tasks that can be performed more safely with reduced vehicle exposure. In this case, the reported plan is limited to the northbound Paris Pike Exit from I-75, with no additional lane or roadway closures described in the LEX18 report.

The closure is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. Tuesday, per the LEX18 timeline. Drivers are expected to follow the direction of construction signage and any traffic control measures posted in the area while the ramp is closed, with access restored after the overnight work is completed.

LEX18’s report did not include information on a reopening time, a detour route, or whether emergency access plans would change during the closure. Residents and travelers may want to check for updates closer to the start of the work shift as the overnight project progresses.
