The closure will remain in place through late December.

During the closure, U.S. 1 North motorists will be directed to use the I-295 East Interchange, the U.S. 1 South Interchange, and the I-295 West Interchange.

In addition, lane restrictions are also scheduled on several ramps at the U.S. 1/I-295 Interchange in Middletown Township, on Tuesday, July 20, from 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM, for line striping operations.
