The road will shut down at 10 p.m. Monday and stay closed until Tuesday at 6 a.m.

This will shake up your drive if you’re not prepared.

If you’re trying to exit again from the turnpike northbound to U.S. 27, your alternate route will be to take Hancock Road instead to Old Highway 50, and then you’re back on U.S. 27 again.
