Brevard County - Motorists traveling on Interstate 95 (I-95) in Viera may encounter overnight traffic pacing operations Friday, June 8. The operation is needed to safely pour concrete for the new interchange at Viera Boulevard.

Florida Highway Patrol troopers will slow traffic to 20 mph beginning at the State Road (S.R.) 520 entrance ramp for southbound motorists and the S.R. 404/Pineda Causeway entrance ramp for northbound motorists. Troopers will pace traffic for about 3 miles through the construction area. Drivers can expect short delays between 3 and 6 a.m. 

Please note construction schedules may change due to weather or other circumstances. Electronic message boards will be used to alert motorists to lane closures and detours. Updates will be available on the FDOT's Central Florida website www.CFLRoads.com.
