  • SR 66 from US 17 (SR 35) to Charlie Creek: Construction project: Crews will mill and resurface SR 66 from US 17 to Charlie Creek. Improvements will include milling and resurfacing. Motorists expect a detour for phase I reconstruction at Merle Langford Road when the westbound lane of SR 66 is closed for construction. Eastbound SR 66 will remain open throughout. Other improvements consist of sidewalk construction, drainage structures, guardrails, curb and gutter, new pavement markings and other safety improvements. Please use caution in the area and watch for workers, traffic signage, detours and equipment throughout the project.

    • The detour began March 10 and will remain in place throughout the duration of the project. Westbound SR 66 was closed from Merle Langford Road to US 17, with traffic detoured via Steve Roberts Special and SR 64. Eastbound SR 66 remained open.
    • Lane closures and flagging operations will take place on westbound and eastbound SR 66 from Sweetwater Road to Farrell Road from April 21 through April 24, 2025, during nighttime hours from 6 p.m. to 5 a.m. Crews will perform milling and paving operations.
    • Motorists should anticipate longer delays in queues, follow posted signs, and consider alternative routes.

    Completion is expected in early 2026.
