Traffic shifts slated for U.S. 27 in Clermont

Lake County During the week of Sept. 25, northbound and southbound traffic will be moved to the newly built northbound lanes on U.S. 27 (State Road 25) between Boggy Marsh and Lake Louisa roads. The nighttime traffic shifts will occur on two separate days.

Once traffic is completely shifted to the new pavement, the contractor, Ranger Construction Industries, will begin building the new southbound lanes.

The work is part of a Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) project to widen U.S. 27 from a four-lane rural street to a six-lane suburban highway from Boggy Marsh Road to 1,000 feet north of Lake Louisa Road.

Please note the work schedule may change due to weather or other unexpected conditions. Project updates will be posted to the FDOT's Central Florida website, www.cflroads.com.

For media-related questions, please contact the Public Information Office at 386-943-5497 or Jennifer.Horton@dot.state.fl.us.

The FDOT urges all motorists to use caution near any road construction. Please slow down and stay alert when driving through work zones.
