The roadway is expected to reopen by 10 p.m. on Nov. 16, weather permitting and barring any unforeseen conditions, the Florida Department of Transportation said in a news release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The closure is necessary to allow crews working for CSX to perform routine maintenance and repairs at their railroad crossing, the release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Northbound traffic on Florida Avenue will be detoured left (west) onto Lime Street to Kathleen Road, then right (north) to Lake Wire Drive, right (northeast) to George Jenkins Boulevard and right (east) back to Florida Avenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Southbound traffic on North Florida Avenue will follow the same detour in reverse. Drivers are advised to plan additional travel time, follow posted detour signs and exercise caution in the area, the release said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
