Techniques are described for detecting whether a lane of a roadway is open or closed. Detecting a lane as being closed may include detecting an object in or near the lane, which may comprise determining a size, location, and/or classification associated with the object, and dilating the size associated with the object. The lane may be indicated as being closed if a distance between a dilated object detection and another object detection, dilated object detection, or lane extent is less than a threshold distance. The techniques may additionally or alternatively comprise determining an alternative lane shape based at least in part on one or more object detections and/or determining that one or more lanes are closed and/or uploading a lane closure and/or alternative lane shape to a central database for retrieval by/dissemination to other computing devices.
