Right Lane Closed 1/2 Mile

The right-hand lane closes in half a mile; merge left when there is a safe gap.

The right-hand travel lane will be closed in half a mile, usually for construction, maintenance, or an incident. Drivers in the right lane should signal and merge to the left as conditions allow, and adjacent through traffic should adjust speed and spacing to let merging vehicles in safely.
