On a normal morning, traffic in downtown Lexington can be heavy at times. Add in the additional time to make lot entrance payments along with several thousand students from hundreds of schools bringing hundreds of buses into downtown Lexington and you must expect the routes to take longer than normal.
Lexington Metro Police Traffic Management Division has issued a traffic alert for the morning of April 19 and will be providing additional support to help manage traffic as their duties allow. Please, drive safely.
