Daily information on lane closures is available in the Traffic & Construction section of our website and at 1-800-TOLL-FYI (865-5394).

The speed limit in work zones is in effect 24/7 for the duration of the construction project.

It is in place to protect workers and drivers who need to be aware of changes in traffic patters and lane configurations.

First-time work zone speeders are fined $375. Second-time offenders are subject to a $1,000 fine and the loss of their license for 90 days. Drivers should watch for signs that advise when work zones begin and end. Signs are posted a minimum of one-half mile in advance of a construction zone.

The penalty for hitting a construction worker is a $10,000 fine and up to 14 years in jail.
