Road Construction Projects Suspended Until Monday
November 28, 2015
State transportation departments in Florida and Alabama said most road construction and lane closures will be suspended for the long Thanksgiving weekend.
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District Three office is suspending highway construction projects on major roadways across Northwest Florida. There will be no work on state roads requiring lane restrictions from through Sunday, December 1. All major roads will be open to normal traffic.
Although no construction closures are scheduled over the holiday weekend, existing state highway work zones will remain in effect. Motorists are reminded to use caution while traveling through work zones around barricades and equipment.
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.
The Alabama Department of Transportation said there will be no temporary lane closures on Alabama interstates after noon through midnight on Sunday, December 1.

Seems like the crews working on Avalon have been on the no work restriction since around thanksgiving 2011. How can it take soooo freaking long to widen 3 1/2 miles of road.
