This road closure will begin on April 4, 2020.
These changes are part of the project plan to allow for the demolition of 56 spans of the elevated ramps next to the river. The initial project phase is scheduled to allow for connecting Gator Bowl Blvd to the Hart Bridge.
Please follow the installed detour signage carefully for your safety.
Traffic control devices will be installed for the safety of vehicular and pedestrian traffic as well as safety of the construction crews in the area. Traffic Control Officers will be located at key intersections during peak hours and during lane closures to direct traffic.
The detour to Gator Bowl Blvd. will direct vehicles near the federal COVID-19 testing location at Lot J, but there is no risk to drivers and passengers traveling through.
