Construction and Weather Cause Traffic Disruptions

Travelers should expect significant traffic disruptions this weekend due to roadworks and severe weather conditions across multiple regions. Interstate 55 in Ridgeland, Mississippi, will face intermittent closures on Sunday morning for power line installations. Major highways in the Puget Sound area, including SR 520, I-405, and SR 167, will be closed for repaving and bridge work from Friday night to Monday morning. In Jefferson and Oldham counties, Kentucky, I-71 North and the Gene Snyder Freeway will be reduced to one lane for surface and concrete paving work. Additionally, the Great Ocean Road in Australia will experience lane reductions due to the replacement of the Spout Creek Bridge, expected to last until April 2025. Severe storms have caused flooding and travel delays on the East Coast, impacting roads and railways, with Amtrak services temporarily suspended between New York and Philadelphia.
