Free to travel: The scheduled nightly lane closures of one section of Interstate 12 have been canceled for the rest of the week. A lane was being closed so crews can drive pilings and widen the section of highway from O’Neal Lane to east of Pete’s Highway. The project should be completed by November 2011.
