![**Problem: Determining Traffic Delay on an Expressway**
**Scenario:**
An expressway has the following characteristics and carries a total volume as listed below. An incident occurs that results in shutting down two of the lanes. It takes 70 minutes to completely clear the obstruction. Given the noted condition, determine the total delay (to the closest full hour).
- **Number of lanes:** 4 lanes
- **Number of lanes shut down due to incident:** 2 lanes
- **Total volume:** 4250 vehicles per hour (veh/hr)
- **Time to clear obstruction:** 70 minutes
- **Capacity of highway (per lane):** 1900 vehicles per hour per lane (veh/hr/ln)
**Answer:** [Solution space for calculation]](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/a51e933b-ba3d-42c9-b6cc-7bf0377c4bf9/3abd9d53-ab0c-4527-8c97-8903d14e2772/jjkdqc_processed.png)
