A construction project is forcing the closure of the right turn lane on Route 40 between Brookmont Drive and Wellington Drive. The lane will remain shut down until 5 a.m. as crews complete their work.

Drivers traveling on Route 40 will need to plan for delays as construction work has shut down the right turn lane in both directions.
