S.R. 72 (Clark Road) from U.S. 41 (S.R .45) to East of Derek Avenue: Construction project: The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has begun milling and resurfacing Clark Road/S.R. 72 from U.S. 41/S.R. 45 to East of Derek Avenue. Improvements include median modifications, lighting, signalization, drainage, curb and gutter and sidewalk improvements within the project limits. Additional work will include a mid-block pedestrian crossing to enhance pedestrian safety. The project spans just over 3.83 miles with an estimated completion of late 2027.
Motorists can expect new traffic patterns on Clark Road from Swift Road to Sawyer Road.
Center lanes (eastbound and westbound) will be closed from Swift Road to Lockwood Ridge Road as crews conduct median modifications. Use extra caution when entering intersections in the construction zone.
As always, changing traffic patterns can cause confusion among motorists. Motorists are reminded to exercise caution, stay alert, and follow all posted regulatory signage while driving through the construction zone.
- Motorists can expect nighttime lane closures/lane shifts throughout the project limits.
Motorists may experience uneven lanes within the project limits during construction.
Pedestrians may experience detours while sidewalks are under construction.
Speed limits are reduced to 35 MPH.
Please watch for workers and use caution when navigating an active construction zone.
Estimated completion is late 2027.
