Residents and commuters who rely on Collingswood Boulevard will need to rethink their routes starting Monday, as a scheduled closure at the intersection with Hillsborough Boulevard will be causing disruptions. According to a recent traffic advisory released by Charlotte County, the closure will persist through Friday, Feb. 14. to accommodate a construction project.

The advisory points out that drivers should anticipate intermittent slow-moving traffic that could lead to temporary delays, urging motorists to alter their typical routes if possible—preparatory signs and detours will guide vehicles around the congestion, yet patience may wear thin as backups are an inevitable byproduct of roadwork; safety, however, remains a paramount concern for the Utilities Department, which has been forthright in reminding everyone to exercise caution in these zones. The department has made a point of highlighting the importance of staying vigilant and maintaining responsible driving behaviors whilst navigating construction-heavy areas.

For those seeking additional details or requiring clarifying information, the county has provided a point of contact and recommends reaching out to [email protected]. The Utilities Department has ensured that communication lines remain open to field any inquiries and address potential concerns from the public.
