Officials first shifted to a new construction pattern for the highway on Sunday, changing a lane split to one right lane and three left lanes, from an earlier split of two lanes to each side.The split allows drivers who stay to the <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Bags-Discount>Michael Kors Handbags Outlet</a> left at the initial split to still access exits for Interstate 395 and Key Highway, granted they stay to the right after the split.
