Portion of Grimes Mill Road in Lexington to close July 1-2 for bridge railing repairs

A section of Grimes Mill Road in Lexington will close for part of next week to allow repairs to a bridge railing over Boone Creek, according to a local report issued Wednesday.

The closure is scheduled for July 1 and July 2, with the road shut to traffic between McCalls Mill Road and the bridge area from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.

The work is described as repairs to the railing on the bridge over Boone Creek, a task that typically requires traffic to be stopped so crews can safely access the structure and complete the project within the daytime maintenance window.

Motorists who regularly use Grimes Mill Road at the McCalls Mill Road intersection may need to adjust routes during the closure hours, the report said, as traffic will be unable to pass through that section while crews work.

While the reported schedule covers the July 1-2 daytime periods, the plan indicates the timing is tied to daylight work hours, consistent with maintenance operations that depend on safe access to the roadway and bridge components.

Residents and drivers in the area are likely to experience localized delays during the closure window, particularly for trips that normally pass through the intersection and the bridge crossing.

As the repair dates approach, travelers may want to monitor updates from local roadway announcements for any changes to the timeframe or access instructions tied to the bridge work.
