Drivers using southbound Route 1 should expect delays this afternoon as construction crews have shut down the left lane in a busy section of the coastal highway.
The lane restriction affects the stretch of highway between Janice Road and Cave Neck Road, with the closure expected to last until 5 PM today.
Motorists are advised to allow extra travel time and use caution when approaching the work zone. Traffic may be heavier than usual in the remaining open lanes during the construction period.
