Ongoing road projects

• County Road 209 (Russell Road) from Peters Creek Bridge to US 17, Bonded Transportation Program project No. 2 (Lake Asbury)- Widen the roadway to four lanes with a median, turn lanes, bike lanes, curb and gutter, and sidewalks from CR 315B to US 17 and from CR 315 to south of Peters Creek Bridge. Drivers should expect single-lane closures, delays, and occasional weekend work through spring 2027. Crews may work at night to reduce daytime impacts and finish faster, which could cause temporary noise, vibration, and lighting for nearby residents.

• County Road 209 (Russell Road) from Sandridge Road to Peters Creek Bridge, Bonded Transportation Program Project 3B – Widening and realigning the east end of Sandridge Road (CR 739B) where it connects to County Road 209B, along with operational improvements at the County Road 209 and County Road 209B intersection to improve traffic flow and safety. Motorists should expect a 25-mph low-speed zone and overnight single-lane closures from 5:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. in the work area.

Update Feb. 3: All traffic must use the Russell Road entrance/exit for the next several weeks. Eastbound and westbound traffic on Sandridge Road will NOT use the Russell/Sandridge intersection. All traffic will be diverted to the new roadway. Drivers can expect single-lane traffic with flaggers and intermittent stops. Expect delays and heavy congestion — use an alternate route if possible. Crews will be working day and night. Plan ahead, leave extra time, and drive carefully through the work zone.

Drivers should expect lane closures, traffic shifts, and a 25-mph speed limit throughout the work zone. Crews may work at night to reduce daytime impacts and finish faster, which could cause temporary noise, vibration, and lighting for nearby residents. Project completion is expected in summer 2026.
