While these closures are in effect, drivers are asked to be aware of road crews on the highway, expect some delays, and plan their commutes in advance. This construction and any temporary closures it creates are subject to change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances, officials said.

Motorists who travel frequently in this area are asked to pay special attention to all barricades, traffic controls and signs, and to reduce their speed as they approach and travel through work zones. They should also avoid distractions such as cell phones, eating, drinking, or car audio or navigation systems.
