For those planning to navigate through Midway Boulevard on Thursday, get ready to adjust your route. Charlotte County Public Works has announced a lane closure on Midway Boulevard, specifically the right-hand southbound lane at Broad Branch Drive. The closure is scheduled to take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Thursday, aiming to facilitate a stormwater infrastructure inspection, as reported on Charlotte County's website.
The county has taken measures to mitigate the impact on traffic, directing drivers to an alternative route marked with detour signage. While the signs will guide motorists, adding a bit of extra time to your travel plans wouldn't be a bad idea. Delays are an expected side-effect of such closures, so patience will be as necessary as observance of the detour signs.
In a statement shared by the Charlotte County Public Works, motorists are reminded "to remain alert at all times and to exercise caution when traveling in the vicinity of construction zones." It's crucial to stay vigilant to maintain safety for all—drivers, construction workers, and pedestrians alike.
Please note that while the closure is for a relatively short period, it is during the daytime when traffic tends to be heavier due to commutes and daily errands. The Public Works Department is keen on ensuring minimal disruption to the daily flow but acknowledges the inconvenience such infrastructure necessities can cause. Commuters will no doubt appreciate their efforts to keep the public informed in advance of these changes to our city's pulsating thoroughfares.
