The project began this week (May 9) and includes widening and resurfacing portions of Lake Mary Rd, specifically from milepost 310 to 317.5. I believe this is north of the Stoneman Lake Rd intersection. The project also includes replacement of a bridge south of DCT, at MP 297.5.The county has advised people to expect delays of up to 30 minutes when passing through the construction zone. Completion is expected for sometime in the fall, depending on weather.
