DOTD explains that they'll need to close this ramp for one day only to make some necessary pavement repairs in an effort to provide an improved driving surface.

This closure is necessary to allow DOTD maintenance personnel to removed damaged portions of concrete and replace with new material.

This will be a total ramp closure at the specified location. All vehicles will need to utilize an alternate route, and detour signage will be in place.

The work will be done "Weather Permitting" so inclement weather could delay, extend, or alter in other ways the scheduled work day/hours.

DOTD appreciates your patience and reminds you to please drive with caution through the construction site and be on the lookout for work crews and their equipment. Remember to leave plenty of room between you and the vehicle in front of you.
