Attention, Charlotte County commuters: expect some delays if you're traveling through the Edgewater Drive and U.S. 41 South intersection next week. In an official statement released by the county, there will be intermittent lane closures in the eastbound lane from midnight to 5 a.m. on Monday, March 31. Charlotte County's Public Works Department has announced that these closures are necessary for crews to apply new pavement markings.
For those needing to travel through that area during these times, be prepared for potential delays. A detour will be arranged to help manage the traffic flow, and signage will guide drivers along the alternative route. Nevertheless, it’s a good idea to schedule some extra travel time into your overnight plans just in case, backups occur due to the construction work.
The department urges drivers to stay vigilant and cautious when navigating near the construction zones. Adherence to detour instructions and patience during these hours is encouraged to maintain safety for both the crews at work and the traveling public.
Motorists are reminded by Charlotte County officials to "remain alert at all times and to exercise caution when traveling in the vicinity of construction zones."
