DOTD writes that the closure is necessary to allow DOTD maintenance personnel to remove debris and vegetation from the on-ramp, creating a cleaner roadway for motorists. This work will be done weather permitting, so inclement weather could delay, extend, or alter in other ways, the scheduled work day/hours.

During this closure, all vehicles will need to utilize an alternate route.
