The closures which are in place during the day beginning at 7 a.m. and reopening at 7 p.m.each night, started Wednesday, October 18^th and will continue each day through Monday, October 30^th. The ramps will be open every night as well as over the weekend of October 28th and 29th .  Motorists be directed to use Troy Avenue and Pete Jimenez Road as a detour.  The closures are necessary for crews to do roadway resurfacing.
