lane closure
Traffic bottleneck cause
A lane closure is the temporary blocking of a traffic lane, typically for road construction, accidents, or maintenance.
Highway signs warn drivers: Lane closure ahead—merge left.
Lane closures create bottlenecks and delays, especially during rush hour.
The lane closure backed up traffic for miles.
