Heads up, drivers: Starting next Monday, you'll need to brace yourselves for some slowdowns on the Washington Loop Road Bridge. The bridge, which spans across Prairie Creek, will see some disruptions due to soil testing courtesy of Tierra, Inc. This routine check-up is slated from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and will run through next Friday. So, if you're planning to cruise through that area, maybe pad your schedule a bit.
The nitty-gritty of it is that there will be intermittent lane closures — not a complete shutdown, but enough to potentially throw a wrench in your drive time. According to Charlotte County's advisory, clear signage will direct travelers to the appropriate lanes, so keep your eyes peeled and follow those signs. An occasional glance at the clock wouldn’t hurt either, since adding a few extra minutes to your travel plan is sound advice.
For those who want the lowdown or have any specific questions, reach out to William Rovira at Tierra, Inc. You can buzz him at 813-340-9894 and hopefully, he can shed some more light on what's going down with the bridge situation. A little heads up can make all the difference when you’re planning your routes this week.
