The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is planning to complete a safety improvement project on U.S. 41 at Oak View Middle School in Newberry. The improvements include adding a right turn with keyhole onto Southwest 15th Avenue at Oak View Middle School in Newberry. Daytime lane closures may be necessary for crews to safely complete the work.

Traffic will be maintained in accordance with FDOT design standards throughout the project. Drivers can expect single-lane closures Monday through Friday during the daytime hours.

Whitehurst, V.E. and Sons is expected to complete this $674,000 improvement project in fall 2022, weather and unforeseen circumstances permitting.
