FDOT Giving Drivers A Break From Road Construction
December 27, 2011
Christmas may be over, but Florida drivers will continue to get a break from road construction during the next week.
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has suspended highway construction projects on major roadways across Northwest Florida during the holiday period from Saturday, December 24 through, Monday, January 2.
Although no construction closures are scheduled through this extended period, existing state highway work zones will remain in effect.
Holiday traffic is expected to be at its peak on Monday, January 2 so FDOT is encouraging drivers to allow extra travel time and to use extra caution in existing work zones along state highways.
Drivers are urged to make sure they buckle up, along with their passengers. FDOT and other safety agencies also ask drivers to obey speed limits, get adequate rest before traveling, avoid distractions and never drink and drive.
Drivers also are urged to be prepared for unscheduled highway closures due to accidents, disabled vehicles or other events. Motorists should be alert to changing weather conditions while traveling.
