Nightly lane closures will take place from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., starting Sunday, Feb. 9, and will continue until the project is completed. According to the FDOT, one lane will remain open at all times, and the speed limit in the work zone has been reduced to 45 mph during active construction.

The FDOT urges drivers to use caution when traveling through the area, particularly at night, and to be mindful of construction workers and equipment. All work is weather-dependent and may be rescheduled in case of inclement conditions.
