SR 64 at Lorraine Road South and 145th Street North: Construction project: Crews have begun work on the conversion of the traffic signal to a free-flowing roundabout.
- In the project limits, SR 64 becomes a single lane in each direction.
- ROAD CLOSURE: Please use caution as construction has shifted to Phase III, moving to the 145th Street East side of the road. The closure of the entrance to 145th Street East was slated to encompass several months, but it was fast-tracked, with the expected closure to end between December 23, 2024 and January 6, 2025. The 145th Street access to SR 64 will reopen as soon as it is possible. ln the interim, please use the Rye Road access to the Mill Creek subdivision. Wait times to make a left turn on Rye Road from the community are running approximately one to three minutes for one to four cars. FDOT will continue to monitor traffic flow.
- DETOURS are available via Waterline Service Road or Upper Manatee River Road. Lorraine Road is open for right turns only onto Lorraine Road or alternately onto SR 64.
- The traffic signal at Lorraine Road will remain deactivated.
