If you're planning to cruise down Lakeview Boulevard today, you'll need to chart a new course. Several intersections along this thoroughfare are closed to replace a traffic signal cabinet, kicking off at the bright and early hour of 9 a.m. today. You won't be passing through Lakeview and Dobell Terrace NW, Lakeview and Midway Boulevard, or Lakeview and Broad Ranch Drive — unless you're on foot, that is.
But not all hope is lost for drivers in the zone; the Lakeview Boulevard and Midway Boulevard crossroads remains a beacon for north-south traffic. The Public Works Department has put up detour signs to guide motorists around these blocked arteries of our town. And here's a little unsolicited advice: give yourself a few extra minutes in your commute today. Patience is a virtue, especially when unexpected detours are in play.
It's not just about avoiding the hassle, though. The Public Works Department urges drivers to be extra vigilant. That's right — those orange cones and hard hats aren't just decorative. They're a sign that you should keep your eyes wide and your foot ready to brake. Stay alert and drive cautiously to ensure everyone gets home without a scratch.
For the nitty-gritty details, reach out to the folks at Public Works. They're the masterminds behind this bit of urban choreography. Give them a ring at 941-575-3643 or take a digital stroll over to Charlotte County website for all the intel on what's going down on Lakeview Boulevard.
