MILLIGAN — Motorists traveling along U.S. Highway 90 and State Road 4 will soon notice road construction.
Ian Satter, a Florida Department of Transportation spokesperson, said engineers will add a turning lane from U.S. Highway 90 West onto State Road 4. No start date was announced at this time, Satter said.
The FDOT-funded, $634,000 project — which includes lengthening the turning lane from SR 4 to Highway 90 eastbound — will take almost five months to complete, Satter said.
The decision to add intersection improvements follows a recent traffic study performed on the intersection, Satter said.
“We were seeing some traffic delays,” he said. “(With the intersection improvement project) we will be able to alleviate the traffic congestion.”
Satter suggests commuters prepare for occasional delays.
“Depending on what (engineers) are doing, they will try to keep traffic flowing,” Satter said. “Construction will be (happening) out there, so allow yourself some extra time.”
