Heads up, Peachland Boulevard commuters: you're going to need to chart a new course early next month. According to a recent advisory from Charlotte County, the eastbound lane of Peachland Boulevard between Strasburg Drive and Tennyson Avenue is set to close from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., starting Tuesday, July 1 through Wednesday, July 2.
Traffic reshuffles are in the offing, with detours clearly marked to guide motorists around the worksite. Delays should be expected, and drivers are encouraged to factor in extra travel time. In a statement obtained by Charlotte County, while the lane closure is in effect, the Public Works Department urges motorists to "remain alert at all times" and "exercise caution when traveling in the vicinity of construction zones." Pivotal, considering that distractions brew when the contours of daily routes are disrupted.
Irby Construction, the firm handling the construction, has provided a point of contact for those needing more information. Queries can be directed to Chris Romero, reachable at 863-303-3532, should there be any questions or concerns about the construction logistics.
