But this time it will affect the northbound lanes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Two lanes of I-295 North will close at 10 p.m. Friday and reopen by 4 a.m. Monday, April 6, weather and unforeseen circumstances permitting. The ramp from San Jose Boulevard to I-295 North will also be closed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Drivers are encouraged to use alternate routes, such as Old St. Augustine Road, if possible, and to allow extra travel time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">The lane closures are part of a larger project to replace finger joints on the Buckman Bridge.
