We talked some about the stadium , and about how bad Philly fans are . We left around the 8th , with the Halos sitting comfortably on an 8 run lead . Ultimately the Angels won 12 - 6.Once we got back to Katie 's friend 's apartment , we loaded a few more things in her Jeep , and left for the beach house . The late - night car ride from the city would have been long regardless of any traffic ; as it was the state had decided to close the freeway for two miles and shunt three lanes of traffic onto a service road , without bothering to put any traffic management into place .

Question: Why might the state have closed the freeway ?
To make essential road repairs .
