Heads up, drivers who frequent Hillsborough Boulevard — you might need to adjust your commute for the rest of the month. Starting Monday, Oct. 6, through Friday, Oct. 31, there will be intermittent lane closures along Hillsborough Boulevard, from Atwater Street to Toledo Blade Boulevard. These disruptions are due to pavement resurfacing work by Ajax Paving Industries, and will take place daily from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
According to a Charlotte County government advisory, the closures are necessary to safely allow to complete the resurfacing project. While this might cause some inconvenience, the end goal is to ensure smoother and more reliable roads for motorists. Commuters are advised to plan for potential delays or seek alternative routes during this period.
The Charlotte County Public Works Department is reminding drivers to remain vigilant when navigating through construction zones. They've emphasized the importance of safety for both the workers on site and the passing traffic. Motorists are advised to respect any signage and directions provided, to ensure the smooth flow of traffic around the affected sections of the boulevard. For those seeking more information or with specific queries regarding the construction work and road closures, the advisory points people toward Chad Ray at the Public Works Department. If needed, Ray can be reached at 941-575-3600 to provide further assistance or details about the project.
