Heads up, Charlotte County travelers. The Rotonda Circle bridge over the Broadmoor Waterway South is getting a facelift, and it's going to impact your commute. Beginning next Monday and extending through August 28, the bridge will be closed for rehabilitation work, as confirmed by the Charlotte County Public Works Department.
Now, for those navigating the region, there's a detour in place, but don't think it'll be a breeze; traffic is not that kind. With signs already posted, travelers should plan for some additional time to wind through the alternative routes.
The department has made it clear—safety first. In a statement published on their website, drivers are urged to "remain alert at all times" and to "exercise caution when traveling in the vicinity of construction zones." It's for the purpose of keeping strong the arteries of our daily ventures over the waterways that crisscross our town. So, while detours may cause grumbling and griping, remember the end game: a safer, more reliable bridge as the Public Works Department reminds motorists to "remain alert at all times."
