On CR 214, a temporary signal will direct one-lane, two-way traffic over I-95 throughout the period of construction. Nightly detours of CR 214 may occur between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.
FDOT awarded Superior Construction Company Southeast the $1.15 million contract to repair damage to the CR 214 overpass over southbound I-95. The damage occurred on Dec. 7, 2022, when a dump truck’s elevated bed struck the overpass. Repairs will be completed in February 2023, weather and unforeseen circumstances permitting.
