Starting Wednesday, July 22, the Sumter County Public Works Department will begin milling and resurfacing several roads within The Villages.
The work is funded through local fuel tax revenues and a Florida Department of Transportation grant. It will include milling the existing asphalt surface and installing a new layer of pavement to extend the life of the roadway, improve driving conditions and enhance safety for motorists.
Construction will take place Monday through Friday between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Work is expected to be completed within eight weeks, weather permitting, in the following communities:
- The Village of Santo Domingo
- The Village of Rio Ponderosa
- The Village of Belvedere (Morven Park Way)
During the construction period, traffic will be managed through flagging operations. Motorists should expect occasional delays and are encouraged to plan for additional travel time when navigating through the work areas.
Drivers are reminded to reduce their speed in construction zones, remain alert for workers and equipment, obey all posted signs and avoid distractions to help protect construction crews.
