New Construction Updates for the Clays Mill Expansion Project

First off, some good news. Construction crews had marked a glorious tree on the corner of McCubbing & Clays Mill with a red X in preparation for cut downs as part of the Clays Mill Rd expansion. Thankfully, residents took the initiative to organize & sign a petition to save this beauty. If you live on Clays Mill & have lost a tree due to the expansion, be on the lookout for a letter from the city in September for tree reinstatement (up to two per household).

Next, you might have noticed some traffic changes on Rosemont Garden to streamline the flow of traffic through the Lafayette Parkway and Southland Drive intersection. Motorists traveling on Rosemont Garden away from Clays Mill Road and toward Nicholasville Road will find that the left lane requires cars to turn left onto Lafayette Parkway. The right lane will now allow cars to pass straight thru the intersection and to make right turns.

Finally, your feedback has been heard by the City of Lexington on the impacts of the Clays Mill project in combination with the start of the academic school year. To alleviate the burden of the project on residents, construction crews are working diligently to reopen the intersection of Clays Mill Rd & McCubbing Dr by September 5th. Additionally, crews will work heavily during the fall break from October 3rd- October 7th & limit traffic during that time. Residents can expect to see the further road reopening by the end of October.
