Peachland Boulevard is set for lane closures from Atwater Street to Hinton Street due to construction work by Irby Construction. According to a Charlotte County announcement, the intermittent lane shutdowns will occur from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., starting next Monday through Wednesday. The closures are part of a project to install new wooden power poles in the area.
