Widespread Road Closures Disrupt Major US Highway, City Traffic

Several significant road closures and lane reductions are currently impacting traffic in various U.S. locations due to ongoing infrastructure and construction projects. In Alexandria, the closure of East and West Abingdon drives and the George Washington Memorial Parkway for railroad crossing repairs is causing major delays, especially during evening rush hours. In Garland, Interstate 635 experiences lane narrowing and multiple closures, including the prolonged shutdown of Woodmeadow Parkway at La Prada Drive, as part of the extensive LBJ East reconstruction project expected to continue through fall 2025. Near Lake Hughes Road, Caltrans is conducting overnight lane closures on Interstate 5 for pavement rehabilitation, with all lanes reopening each morning. Additionally, Plano Road at I-635 in Dallas has nighttime closures due to the 635 East Project, with detours in place and work scheduled through early August. These disruptions highlight ongoing efforts to improve road safety and infrastructure, though commuters are advised to expect delays and seek alternative routes where possible.
