Motorists should expect temporary inside and outside lane closures as well as overnight lane closures from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. Please use particular caution in the area and watch for pedestrians, bicyclists and workers.

US 41 from Caribbean Drive to Stickney Point: Construction: Construction on the next phase along a 1.4-mile area of US 41 from Caribbean Drive to Stickney Point Road has begun. Work consists of implementing safety improvements along the corridor, including resurfacing, lighting and signalization, median improvements, improved drainage, shoulder reconstruction, improved sidewalks, improved bicycle lanes, and curb and gutter improvements.

• Crews will remain focused on sidewalk placement, drainage, earthwork and gravity walls.

• Most work should be in the FDOT right of way, off the main roadway.

US 41 at Gulfstream Avenue Roundabout: Landscaping project: A separate contract is supporting the landscaping of the area and will take approximately four months. Lane closures will be during overnight hours, and noise from landscaping vehicles and lighting are to be expected.

US 41 at Wellen Park Village Roundabouts: Permit project: A lane shift is in place for approximately six (6) months. Consider alternate routes or add additional travel time during peak hours.

• Crews continue to focus on drainage work and curb and gutters.

SR 777 River Road from I-75 to US 41: Construction project: Motorists can expect pond excavation near Venice Avenue and just north of Rambler’s Rest RV Park on the northbound roadway. Embankment activities continue on the southbound roadway from US 41 to Stoney Creek Boulevard. Drainage structure and pipe installation will also continue throughout the project. Signal and lighting work is also on-going throughout the project. Paving during daytime hours will take place between Stoneycreek Boulevard and Center Road on Thursday and Friday, 9/14 and 9/15. This will be out of traffic and will not require any lane or shoulder closures. Trucks will be crossing the road at various locations using intermittent flagging operations.

SR 681 from I-75 to US 41: Construction project: Crews are completing the placement of silt fence along the 2.8 stretch of roadway in preparation for construction. The resurfacing project will also improve drainage, provide a cross-slope correction for leveling and comfort, new guardrail, updated signing and marking, install intelligent transportation equipment and signalization.

• Paving on the project has started so motorists should expect temporary lane closures for the duration of the project.

• During resurfacing of the highway, on- and off-ramps will require limited overnight detours.

• Noise from construction equipment should be anticipated for the duration.
