In this paper, we will present the cellular automata simulation of the traffic flow on the freeway including a construction zone. Two-lane and three-lane freeways with a construction zone are considered as the object domains and the simulation results are compared with the results of one-lane and two-lane freeways without a construction zone. Although it is predicted that the traffic flow of the freeway with the construction zone depends only on the number of the freely available lanes, the simulation results shows that the traffic flow depends not only on the number of the available lanes but also the length of the construction zone.
