Traffic Advisory: S.R. 35 Emergency Road Work Update

 

Marion County, Fla. Please be advised that the temporary traffic shift put in place earlier this morning at the intersection of Baseline Road (S.R. 35) and Dogwood Road will remain in place until emergency road repairs are complete. At this intersection traffic has been shifted to one lane in each direction.

Emergency repairs are necessary due to a sinkhole that developed in the area over the weekend. The sinkhole is estimated around 35 feet in diameter and 20 feet deep. At this time there is not an estimated timeframe as to how long repairs will take.

In the meantime, FDOT continues to encourage motorists to avoid the area if possible and seek an alternate route. Drivers are recommended to take SE 92nd Place Road to U.S. 441/ U.S. 301 and head north. From there travel east on State Road 464 to Baseline Road.  

Motorists are advised to maintain a safe speed while driving and allow extra time to navigate the area.

Additional updates will be provided as available.
