The state is advising motorists of a series of overnight lane closures on County Road 484 as crews work to widen the roadway with turn lanes and extensions at its interchange with Interstate 75 and its intersection with 475A.
Crews began widening the stretch of CR 484 from SW 20th Avenue to CR 475A on Sunday. The work is scheduled to run through Friday, April 26.
According to the Florida Department of Transportation, crews will add turn lanes and turn lane extensions at CR 484’s interchange with I-75 and its intersection with County Road 475A.
Crews have been working from 8 p.m. to 6 p.m. each night on widening, drainage, and concrete at the sites.
“Please reduce your speed and exercise caution throughout the construction zone,” reads a statement from FDOT.
The project also includes the reconstruction of the westbound through lanes and the modification of the existing I-75 bridge in order to accommodate the wider lanes.
The project will also improve bicycle lane and pedestrian sidewalk connectivity through the project limits. Modifications to the existing median will be required for the roadway improvements.
The roadwork on CR 484, along with overnight lane closures and work on I-75 this week, is part of multiple ongoing projects led by FDOT in Ocala.
That includes ongoing construction along U.S. Hwy 441, near downtown Ocala, which is estimated to last through May.
