Chipley, Fla. – Drivers will encounter intermittent inside lane closures on West Cervantes Street, between Dominguez Street and A Street beginning Monday, March 29.
The lane closures will begin on the west end of the project at Dominguez Street and vary in length to allow crews to perform median improvement work. One lane in each direction will be always maintained. The median work and lane closures will progress eastward until the end of the year.
The work is part of a $7 million construction project to improve pedestrian safety along a 2.2-mile section of West Cervantes Street, from Dominguez Street to A Street. Planned improvements include constructing seven lighted midblock crosswalks, ADA-compliant ramps, and a wider multi-use path. New traffic signals will be added at four intersections and existing signals will be enhanced with upgraded pedestrian features.
The work is estimated for completion in early 2022. Learn more at Facebook.com/CervantesStreet or Instagram @CervantesStreet. Questions can be emailed to info@cervantesstreet.com.
