\nDates: Monday, April 27, through Friday, May 29
\nTimes: Single lane closure from 9:00 PM; double lane closures from 12:00 AM \u2013 5:00 AM (weeknights)

Lane closures will be in place weeknights on either northbound or southbound I-95, beginning with a single lane restriction at 9:00 PM followed by a double lane closure overnight.<\/p>\n
Motorists traveling through the corridor should expect reduced speeds and periodic backups, especially during overnight construction windows. Plan extra time and consider alternate routes when possible.<\/p>\n
