    It would be nice to include the Molino Road bridge project since this is an FDOT project also. The lack of appropriate signs is still a problem. The only sign remaining on Molino Road is at Angus Lane (which is already past the detour). The sign as you turn onto Molino Road is down in the ditch and has been for months, obviously knocked over by the county working on cutting out the drainage ditch. The only other sign is the large electronic board which is only alerting NORTHBOUND traffic. Otherwise, there are no signs for westbound coming from the east side of Molino Road or southbound from points north.
