Major Roadwork Disrupts Travel Nationwide

Major road construction and maintenance projects are underway across several states, including Pennsylvania, New York, Louisiana, North Dakota, and California. In Louisiana, the Jimmie Davis Bridge construction in Bossier City is causing intermittent closures on Highway 511, and a concrete truck crash has shut down northbound I-49 in Alexandria. Grand Forks, North Dakota, is experiencing its busiest roadwork season with over 60 active projects, including work on the Columbia Road overpass. California's Santa Cruz County has completed the first phase of the Highway 1 expansion with the opening of the 'Whale Bridge,' with further phases planned into the 2030s. In Pennsylvania and New York, PennDOT and local agencies continue extensive repaving, inspections, and safety upgrades, leading to ongoing lane closures and detours. Motorists nationwide are advised to plan ahead and exercise caution due to frequent closures and shifting traffic patterns.
