Heads up, Charlotte County commuters: Cochran Boulevard is getting a tech upgrade, and with it comes the familiar dance of traffic cones and brake lights. According to a recent advisory, if you're planning to travel between Education Way and Pellam Boulevard today through tomorrow, prepare for some start-stop action courtesy of intermittent lane closures.
The closures, running from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on both days, is service of Utility One's mission to lay down some fresh underground fiber. While we all might be itching for that boosted connectivity down the road, it's a bit of stretch to imagine anyone's thrilled about the immediate prospect of yet another construction zone to navigate, because let's face it, even without an orange vest, we're all seasoned vets of the traffic game by now.
Want the direct line on this? For more specifics or to air your grievances about how this might throw a wrench in your already unpredictable commute, you can reach out directly to Kevin Johannesen of Utility One at 727-687-2819.
