Perhaps add a "Right Lane Closed Ahead" sign just before the roundabout would give some advanced warning of this problem.

There is a second barrier 1/4 mi away at Regan Rd. So the first really is not necessary.

They could move the first barrier a couple of hundred yards further south on a the straight segment and add a line of construction barrels before to help a safe merge into the left lane prior to the second barrier at Reagan Rd.
