SR 777 River Road from US 41 to I-75: Construction project: Motorists can expect pond excavation near Venice Avenue on the northbound roadway. Embankment activities continue on the southbound roadway from Center Road to US 41; trucks will be crossing the road at various locations using intermittent flagging operations.  Drainage installation will resume at various project locations and tree mulching operations are taking place along the southbound roadway from Observation Boulevard to US 41 and just north of Rambler’s Rest RV Park on northbound roadway. A new traffic shift is in place between Center Road and just south of Venice Avenue so please use caution in the area. TECO Gas crews will also be installing gas main (brown pipe) along the entire corridor. Overall completion expected mid-2025.

• Two lanes will remain open during construction as will access to businesses and residences.
• Milling and resurfacing will begin after Easter, the traditional end of “season,” and will be done overnight. Anticipated start date for this is approximately mid to late April.
• Construction “maintenance of traffic” devices will be removed each day.
