NIGHTTIME ROAD CLOSURE SCHEDULED FOR GANDY BOULEVARD THIS WEEK AT THE RAILROAD CROSSING
On Thursday, July 18, and Friday, July 19, 2019, crews will temporarily close Gandy Boulevard, between Dale Mabry Highway and Church Street between 9 pm and
6 am, weather permitting. This means that portions of both sides of Gandy Boulevard will be temporarily closed during those times. The entrance ramp to
westbound Gandy Boulevard will also be closed. Travelers will detour around the work zone using S. Dale Mabry, Euclid Avenue, Bay to Bay and Westshore
Boulevard. The entrance ramp on northbound Dale Mabry will remain open to access the Selmon Expressway. Electronic message boards will be displayed to
alert drivers.

One lane on both eastbound and westbound Gandy Boulevard between Westshore Boulevard and the Gandy Bridge will be closed each night between 9 pm and 6 am.
In an effort to keep the construction crews and the traveling public safe, we want to remind motorists that the posted construction speed limit is 45 miles
per hour. Speed enforcement will be in place in the signed construction zones. The fine for speeding in a construction zone is double the amount of a regular
ticket.
