During this period, all northbound and southbound traffic on Nebraska Avenue will be detoured. Drivers will be directed to use Waters Avenue, Florida Avenue, and Busch Boulevard to navigate around the construction zone.
FDOT will deploy electronic message boards and detour signs to guide drivers through the alternative routes. However, motorists should anticipate increased traffic congestion on these detour routes and surrounding roads.
