The city says the project will include milling, paving and restriping at the West Short Street and Market Street intersection. Drivers should expect one lane to remain closed throughout the work window, not only during active construction hours.
The raised crossing is intended to slow vehicles and improve pedestrian visibility. The city’s notice gives an October 5 start and October 16 expected completion date, but construction timing can change with weather or field conditions.
Travelers using downtown Lexington should allow additional time and follow posted traffic controls. The official notice does not announce a full street closure or a signed detour route.
