The following ramps and lanes are currently closed:

• Northbound 77 right lane closed at Diffley (scheduled to reopen by Oct. 7)
• Diffley Road  ramp to northbound 77 (scheduled to reopen by Oct. 7)
• Southbound 77 loop to northbound 35E (scheduled to reopen by Oct. 10)

You'll see the following ramps close next week:

Follow the signed detours to bypass the loop and ramp closures.

Just a reminder- speeds have been reduced from 65 mph to 50 mph within the work zone and fines for speeding are doubled.
