Lexington, Ky., begins 8,000-foot sewer line project along New Circle Road
(UI) — Construction is set to begin the week of Feb. 10 on an 8,000-foot sanitary sewer project along Lexington’s New Circle Road corridor. Work will start near Colesbury Circle and move along the access road before extending from Newtown Pike to Bryan Station Road.
The nearly two-year project will replace aging sewer infrastructure that is more than 55 years old. While most construction will occur along the roadside, occasional lane closures may be necessary for safety. Business driveway access will remain open, and the Legacy Trail will not be affected.
This summer, crews will work through Elkhorn Park, with nearby residents receiving advance notice of any park access changes.
The project, part of the New Circle Road sanitary sewer trunks A and B, is expected to be completed by the end of 2026. It is part of a federal consent decree requiring Lexington to improve its sanitary sewer system.
