Road repair is set to partially close Race Track Road between South Mobley Road and Sri Chinmoy Street yesterday night, according to official sources. The county has announced that the closure will commence at 8 p.m. yesterday and is scheduled to end at 6 a.m. earlier today, allowing workers to rapidly complete the necessary repairs and to hopefully ease the impact on weekend traffic.
The county aims to work continuously through the night to quickly finish and to minimize the inconvenience to drivers. However, if you're planning to travel through the area, you'll need to adjust your route accordingly. Detour signs will guide the way, rerouting traffic via South Mobley Road, Gunn Highway, and back to Race Track Road itself, avoiding the affected section.
For those relying on technology to find their way, there's good news. The local government has taken steps to ensure that popular navigation apps have been updated to reflect the closure and help guide motorists around, as stated by the Hillsborough County's newsroom.
Drivers are advised to plan their trips ahead of time and to expect some additional traffic on the detour routes. While the county is working to ensure a smooth and swift repair process, it is always wise to allow extra time for travel when detours are in place. The updates to navigation apps should also help to provide the most efficient routes possible, easing what can often be a frustrating experience when confronted by unexpected roadwork.
