What to Do

Follow the EDR markers to return to the highway beyond the closure.

A Detail to Remember

EDR means Emergency Detour Route. It is distinct from a routine construction detour such as route D-1.

Understanding Information & Direction Signs

Direction and service signs help with navigation. Arrows and supplementary wording explain where to go; these signs do not replace traffic signals, lane rules or right-of-way requirements.
