What’s happening to Newtown Pike?
Please explain the rational in destroying the beautiful drive on Newtown Pike from Stanton Dr to Iron Works Pike?? Perhaps then the many people who make that drive each day could explain it to the people who keep asking about how did that happen with a little less anger in our voice.
According to the Lexington Fayette County Government Traffic engineering department, the road is getting rebuilt. It will be straightened slightly and shoulders will be added. The road is not gaining additional lanes. A rock wall is being moved to accommodate the road work. Iron Works Pike will also be resurfaced from Newtown Pike to the entrance of the Kentucky Horse Park. All of the work is being done by the Kentucky Department of Transportation.

My mother was a public school librarian. I earned a bachelor’s degree in music and a master’s degree in library and information science from the University of Kentucky. The Herald-Leader hired me as a news assistant 25 years ago; soon after, I moved to the news research department, where I’ve been ever since. We used to clip newspapers. Now, almost all of our research is online. We've come a long way.
