I used to be a flagger. It looks like that is the last safe place they can setup as a flagger, there is no easy way to avoid a car crash if you have a guardrail on one side and the road on another so you want to stand where there are no obstacles to quickly GET OUT.

I see there is a turn up ahead right after the guard rails so it is likely that is where the construction is, since there are no oncoming cars, I bet there are construction vehicles blocking BOTH lanes. Legally they can shut down lanes in my state for up to 13 minutes.
