Utility work to affect traffic at S.R. 16-I-95 intersection
The state Department of Transportation is improving the intersection of State Road 16 and Interstate 95, which requires relocating existing utilities for the upcoming construction project.
Utility lines will be installed along the north side of the service road in front of Taco Bell and Discount Tire, which may impact traffic in this area.
Work began Monday, Dec. 6. Traffic is being shifted for 90 days to allow utility work adjacent to the road. Lane closures are not anticipated, but there may be temporary delays near the work area to unload materials for the construction project.
For further information, call 904-209-2700.
