SR 66 from US 17 (SR 35) to Charlie Creek: Construction project: Crews will mill and resurface SR 66 from US 17 to Charlie Creek. Improvements will include milling and resurfacing, and motorists can expect a detour at Merle Langford Road when the westbound lane of SR 66 is closed for construction. Eastbound SR 66 will remain open throughout. Other improvements consist of sidewalk construction, drainage structures, guardrails, curb and gutter, new pavement markings and other safety improvements. Please use caution in the area and watch for workers, traffic signage, detours and equipment throughout the project.
- Expect lane closures and flagging operations on westbound and eastbound State Route 66 between Schoolhouse Road to Sweetwater Road from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., February to March 2025. Multiple closures may occur on opposite ends of the project during the same day.
- Milling and resurfacing is ongoing, and motorists should expect longer delays in the queues and may want to consider using alternate routes.
Completion is expected in early 2026.
