at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,
the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,
process a ramp closure report to determine one or more reported ramp links associated with the ramp closure report;
construct a ramp network comprising the one or more reported ramp links and one or more other ramp links connected to the one or more reported ramp links;
collect probe data collected from one or more sensors of one or more vehicles traveling within the ramp network;
identify one or more driving patterns based on one or more vehicle paths determined from the probe data;
perform a verification of a closure status of the one or more reported ramp links based on the one or more driving patterns; and
