Heads up, Sunnybrook Road commuters: your route just got a little bumpier. Starting early Wednesday morning, you'll need to chart a different course if you're heading westbound between Cardiff Street and Broder Drive. A part of the sidewalk needs some TLC, and it's got the Public Works Department bending over backward — or rather, digging up the ground — to get it sorted from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., running from Wednesday through Friday.
Residents who are planning to travel through this stretch, give yourself a buffer, time-wise. You're going to hit a detour, clearly marked to navigate you around the construction chaos. As always with these sorts of inconveniences, tacked-on minutes to your commute are an expectation, not a surprise. According to Charlotte County's advisory, disruption is the name of the game for these three days.
Chances are, there's a construction symphony—jackhammers, beepers, and clanging metal—playing as workers pull up chunks of concrete and pour fresh cement. Amid this, motorists are advised by Public Works to keep their wits about them. It's not just about patience; it's about safety, too. They must stay vigilant, watching for not just detour signs but also for the hard-hatted folks making the magic happen on the roadways.
So, remember, while navigating the detour, keep an eye out for signage, but don't just look for orange cones and diverted traffic — Public Works is out there, standing in the midst of potential hazards, ensuring drivers can go home safely at the end of the day. Charlotte County is reminding you to "remain alert at all times and to exercise caution when traveling in the vicinity of construction zones," as their work continues.
