BURLINGTON – Crews will remove the permanent traffic signal at the northbound Interstate 5 off-ramp to Highway 20 on Thursday morning and replace it with a temporary signal.

Therefore, drivers can expect delays at exit 230 during the work between 9 and 11 a.m. They are advised to use exit 229 (George Hopper Road) instead.

The work is part of an road-widening project.
