Widespread Roadwork Causes Delays in US and UK

Road construction and maintenance are causing lane closures and traffic disruptions in multiple regions across the U.S. and the U.K. In West Tennessee, resurfacing and bridge inspections are prompting lane closures on several highways, while Illinois is reducing lanes on the Roosevelt Road bridge in Glen Ellyn until late July. Beaufort County, South Carolina, will begin overnight resurfacing work on U.S. Highway 278 from May 11 for two weeks, resulting in lane closures and detours. East Hempfield Township, Pennsylvania, continues major overnight roadwork on Centerville Road for a $36.3 million project, leading to significant delays and detours. In Hull, U.K., drivers face a year-long disruption as engineers assess the Hessle Road flyover, though it remains open. Motorists in all affected areas are advised to use alternate routes and exercise caution.
