Which lane when there's road works?

I have a question regarding the correct lane discipline in this instance - there is a roundabout with two lanes on approach and a dual carriageway on the second exit. However, the left hand lane of this dual carriageway is currently undergoing roadworks. It causes a lot of confusion and near misses from what I can see. Which lane should I approach the roundabout in?

O/S lane, but obviously watch drivers on the n/s lane and help them if you have to.
