HIGHLANDS COUNTY, Fla.  – Nightly lane closures will begin at the intersection of Dal Hall Boulevard and Tower Road on State Road 25 (US 27) as part of ongoing construction efforts in the Town of Lake Placid

Crews will start nightly closures on the northbound and southbound inside lanes of State Road 25 (US 27) on December 5, 2024, from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. This phase includes critical preparatory work such as demolition, tree removal, and curb removal, along with the installation of temporary asphalt in the median to facilitate future lane shifts.

This work is part of a larger project that began November 20, 2024, aimed at reconstructing rigid pavement on State Road 25 (US 27) from north of Tower Street to south of Tower Street, as well as milling and resurfacing State Road 25 (US 27) from Shoreline Drive to Davis and Gaines Road.
