Road closures in Arlington start today due to JEA work

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- There will be some construction work coming up on University Boulevard in Arlington.

Two lanes of traffic and a turn lane will be closed on University Boulevard North at Commerce Street, starting on Monday.

Crews will not work on weekends. They'll work in the evenings and overnight, from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. The work should be done by Feb. 18.
