• Motorists should anticipate lane closures with flagging operations on State Road 82.
• Frequent and brief flagging operations are taking place throughout the day to assist trucks in safely crossing the road within project limits
• Moss Solar is putting up a solar energy field just east of project limits. They will have numerous trucks from now until mid- to late- July delivering the solar equipment out to their site, in addition to 200-300 project personnel traveling through the SR 82 corridor beginning sometime in July.
