Commuters in Charlotte County should brace for minor delays next week as roadwork takes over a segment of Midway Boulevard. The Public Works Department has announced that the eastbound, right-hand lane between Green Street and Eagle Street will be temporarily closed to accommodate sidewalk repairs. The closure will take place from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., starting on Wednesday, June 4, and concluding on Friday, June 6. According to an advisory posted on the Charlotte County government website, travelers should prepare to detour and are advised to allow extra time for traversing the affected area.
The specifics outlined suggest that signage will guide vehicles along a detour route. However, with only one lane being closed, those familiar with the bustling Midway Boulevard can certainly expect to slow down and to possibly merge, a situation that might test the patience of daily drivers. On the bright side, the repair hours are nestled within a timeframe that may skirt the very peak of rush hour, potentially easing the congestion that such closures often invite.
Morgan Thompson, representing the Public Works Department, has been highlighted as the contact person for more information. Motorists have been reminded "to remain alert at all times and to exercise caution when traveling in the vicinity of construction zones," as indicated in the statement published on the county website.
For those needing additional details or seeking to make specific inquiries, Morgan Thompson can be reached at 941-769-0294.
