Beginning at 9 p.m. Friday, June 5, 2026, traffic will be reduced to one lane in the eastbound direction. Two lanes will reopen by 5 a.m. Monday, June 8, weather permitting.

The lane closure is required for road construction as part of ongoing improvements in the corridor.

Motorists should expect delays and are encouraged to use alternate routes during this closure. Drivers are urged to reduce speed, be alert for changing conditions, obey all construction signage, and refrain from using mobile devices while approaching and traveling through the work zone.
