Drivers can expect lane closures beginning at 8:30 p.m. as crews remove barrier wall and shift the northbound lanes from their current location in the median to new asphalt on the outside of the roadway.
The Florida Department of Transportation selected R.B. Baker Construction Company to complete this $19.1 million project in summer 2022, weather and unforeseen circumstances permitting.
