Westbound lanes on Highway 78 and Interstate 22 are open, but motorists are being urged to exercise caution if they must travel in the area, a Facebook post said. The post warned that conditions could worsen throughout the evening.
The brief advisory did not specify the cause of the earlier restriction or the exact location along the corridor. Officials often use social media to update motorists about traffic incidents, lane closures, weather impacts or road maintenance that can affect safety and travel times.
Highway 78 and Interstate 22 form an important east-west route used by commuters, commercial traffic and local travelers. Changes to lane availability on this corridor can affect traffic flow and increase the risk of secondary crashes, particularly during periods of poor visibility or heavy traffic.
Motorists should slow down, maintain a safe following distance and follow directions from traffic control or emergency personnel. Check local traffic and weather reports before travel. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
