I-64 rest area facilities in Woodford close until May 3

Facilities at both rest areas on Interstate 64 in northwest Woodford County will be closed for the next three months, the state Transportation Cabinet announced tonight.

The cabinet said the closures are needed in order to make repairs to the sewer lift stations that serve the facilities. "In addition, renovation operations for both rest areas will be underway," the cabinet said in a news release.

The rest areas will remain open to semi-tractor-trailer drivers for "temporary accommodations," the cabinet said. The facilities are scheduled to open at 8 a.m. Friday, May 3 – the date of the Kentucky Oaks, and the day before the Kentucky Derby, at Churchill Downs in Louisville.
