Charlotte County travelers, plan your detours: Quesada Avenue will be off-limits between Cochran Boulevard and Forrest Nelson Boulevard this upcoming Monday. The closure, which spans from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday, is due to milling and paving connected to a water main relocation project. According to a recent advisory released by the Charlotte County Public Works Department, anyone needing to traverse this stretch should anticipate delays and leave extra time for travel.
For those on the go, heavy traffic and potential setbacks could bottleneck your commute. The Public Works Department suggests selecting alternative routes to avoid the construction area. It's always the unexpected hiccups that throw a wrench in our well-laid plans, so keep an eye out for updates that might save you some precious minutes—or even hours.
