From Monday, August 12, to Thursday, August 15, periodic single and double lane closures will occur on the southbound lanes of U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Expressway) between Henry Avenue and Interstate 76. These closures will take place from 6:00 PM to 5:30 AM the following morning. Additionally, the ramp from southbound U.S. 1 to westbound Interstate 76 will be closed during this period.
